In this message Pastor Peter Watson uses Ephesians 2 to explain how Jesus Christ removes social and spiritual barriers to invite humanity into God's family. He contrasts the "empire" mindset of selfish power with the biblical concept of Shalom, which represents a life defined by peace, justice, and restoration. Drawing on personal stories of church planting and financial hardship he illustrates that being part of this holy household means finding belonging and support regardless of one's background. He emphasizes that Easter serves as the pivotal moment where the death and resurrection of Jesus empowers believers to move away from building their own kingdoms and toward serving others. Ultimately, the message calls for a commitment to the values of the Beatitudes, urging us to actively pursue mercy and reconciliation as members of God's family.
