From Stranger to Family - The Belonging
Pastor Ray Phillips · September 6, 2026
What does it really mean to belong? Pastor Ray Phillips opens the new Belonging series with "From Stranger to Family," a message from Ephesians 2:11–22. Paul reminds us that we were once far off, strangers to the covenant, without hope and without God in the world, but now in Christ Jesus we have been brought near by the blood of Christ. Pastor Ray shows that Jesus did more than cancel our guilt. At the cross He ended our separation from God and broke down every wall that divides us, so we are no longer strangers and foreigners but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God.
