CALL TO WORSHIP Ephesians 2.13-22 Kristin Hall
One Now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought
near through the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace,
Many WHO
BARRIER, THE DIVIDING WALL OF HOSTILITY, BY ABOLISHING
IN HIS FLESH THE LAW WITH ITS COMMANDMENTS
REGULATIONS.
One His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two,
thus making peace,
Many
GOD THROUGH THE CROSS, BY WHICH HE PUT TO DEATH
THEIR HOSTILITY.
One He came and preached peace to you who were far away, and peace to
those who were near.
Many FOR THROUGH HIM WE BOTH HAVE ACCESS TO THE FATHER
BY
One Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow
citizens with God's people and members of God's household,
Many BUILT ON THE
FOUNDATION OF THE APOSTLES
PROPHETS, WITH CHRIST JESUS HIMSELF AS THE CHIEF
CORNERSTONE.
One In him the whole building is joined together, and rises to become a
holy temple in the Lord.
Many
BECOME A DWELLING IN WHICH GOD LIVES BY HIS
SPIRIT.
