Message: “Building Rivendells” from Tim Harms

Come and See Weekend at Sanctuary Church. We paused our New Humans series to sit in Psalm 46 and the vision of the City of God. Distinct, dependent, durable. A call to build little Rivendells where the presence of God heals, equips, and sends. Respond with surrender, consecration, and confidence in a kingdom that will not fall.

Message: “The New Humanity Starts Here” from Tim Harms

A message from the series “New Humans.” In this message, we explore what it truly means to put off the old self and put on the new self — to live as the new humanity that Christ is forming through His church.
Paul reminds us that following Jesus isn’t just about becoming better people; it’s about becoming entirely new ones.
Through powerful illustrations, practical teaching, and a call to transformation, we’re invited to live out our new identity in truth, generosity, forgiveness, and love.

Message: “The New Humanity Starts Here” from Tim Harms

A message from the series “New Humans.” In this message from Sanctuary SF’s “New Humans” series, we explore Ephesians 4:1–16 and what it means to live as a unified, Spirit-filled community shaped by love.

We’re reminded that identity in Christ is not only personal but communal—rooted in the oneness of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The church is God’s chosen vehicle to spread His glory and love throughout the earth.

Message: “Why Bother with the Church?” from Tim Harms

A message from the series “New Humans.” In this message from our New Humans series through Ephesians, we walk through Ephesians 3: the revealed mystery of Christ, the church as God’s manifold wisdom, and Paul’s powerful prayer that we would know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge.

We recap chapters 1–2 (adoption, grace, unity), then read Ephesians 3 and reflect on how God forms a new humanity in Christ—Jew and Gentile together—displaying his wisdom to rulers and authorities. We consider living as a “signpost of the age to come,” and we close by praying Paul’s prayer (Eph 3:14–21) over our community.

Key Scriptures: Ephesians 1–3; Ephesians 3:6, 10, 14–21
