What happens when all hope seems gone — when sin leaves us spiritually lifeless, unable to fix ourselves? In this powerful message from Ephesians 2, Pastor John unpacks the life-changing reality of two words that can rewrite every story: But God. Just like a child brought back to life against all odds, Scripture reminds us that we were not drowning in sin but dead in it — until God’s mercy and grace intervened. This sermon will challenge you to see your story before Christ, the unstoppable grace of God that saves, and the purpose He has given you as His masterpiece. Whether you feel broken, purposeless, or beyond repair, you’ll discover that in Jesus you are not trash — you are a trophy of grace. Today is your invitation to come alive. -- ABOUT CROSSLIFE CHURCH CrossLife is a dynamic group of people of all ages who are seeking to become passionate followers of Jesus Christ in a challenging and ever-changing world.
