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.

Discover how spiritual gifts work together to build up the Body of Christ, how love matures us into Christlike character, and how the Church reflects the very heart of the Trinity.

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
