Tearing Down the Walls
Episode 666
Monday, 4 May, 2026
This week’s message in Ephesians 2:11–22 tackles something deeply personal and incredibly relevant: the walls we live with—and the ones Jesus came to destroy. We start by looking at who we were before Christ—distant from God, disconnected from others, and on the outside looking in. Paul paints a clear picture of separation, reminding us that apart from Jesus, we were without hope and without belonging. But then comes the turning point: “But now…” Because of Jesus, everything changes. Through His sacrifice, the distance between us and God is gone—and so is the division between people. Jesus didn’t just make peace possible; He is our peace. He tore down every wall of hostility and created something brand new: one unified family. This message doesn’t stop at what Jesus did—it presses into what that means for us now. We’re no longer outsiders or spectators. We are citizens, family members, and part of something God is actively building—a living, spiritual temple where His presence dwells. But here’s the challenge: even though Jesus tore down the walls, we often rebuild them. Sometimes in our own hearts through guilt and shame. Sometimes toward others through unforgiveness. Sometimes through preferences, differences, or convenience. This episode invites you to take an honest look at the walls in your life—and step toward the kind of unity Jesus died to create. Because the gospel doesn’t just save individuals… it forms a family. And in Jesus, you don’t just belong to God—you belong with His people. www.movementcolumbus.com
