Diamonds - The Dead in Sin become Alive in Christ

May 25, 2025 • Pastor Seth

In this message, we're invited to explore the transformative journey from spiritual death to life in Christ. The key passage, Ephesians 2:1-10, paints a stark picture of our original state - dead in sin and following the ways of the world. But then comes the beautiful contrast: 'But God, who is rich in mercy.' This phrase encapsulates the heart of the gospel, showing God's immense love that brings us from death to life. The imagery of a diamond against a dark backdrop is used to illustrate how God's grace shines most brilliantly against the darkness of our sin. This message challenges us to remember our beginnings, to appreciate the depth of God's mercy, and to live as His masterpiece. It's a call to shift our perspective, seeing ourselves and others through God's eyes of love and compassion, rather than judgment. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to embrace our identity in Christ and to shine His light in a world desperately in need of hope.
