    In Christ Pt. 7

    Jesus didn’t just forgive your sin—He changed your access. In Part 7 of IN CHRIST, Pastor Jon Purkey continues through Ephesians 2 and unpacks what the cross actually accomplished. Jesus brought us peace with God, offers us the peace of God, broke down the walls that separated us, and created one new people in Christ. In this message, Pastor Jon addresses anxiety, spiritual authority, the gifts of the Holy Spirit, division in the Church, law versus grace, and the identity every believer now carries because of Jesus. The Law can show you what’s wrong, but it cannot make you clean. Jesus did what you could never do for yourself. And because of His blood, you no longer have to stand outside. You have access to the Father. You’ll hear: • Why supernatural peace isn't dependent on your circumstances • How carrying yesterday and worrying about tomorrow can overload your mind • Why your identity in Christ must be stronger than cultural or family identity • The difference between Law and grace • Why grace empowers holiness rather than excuses sin • How the cross destroyed the wall of hostility • Why there is only one door to the Father—Jesus • How to stop punishing yourself for what Christ already paid for • Why the Church needs every believer operating in their God-given gifts “We were outsiders. We were without Christ. We were without hope. But God intervened. The blood brought us near. The cross tore down the wall. Jesus made us one people. And now we have access to the Father. That’s the gospel.” If this message encouraged you, follow the Nexus Church Podcast, leave a rating, and share this episode with someone who needs to be reminded who they are IN CHRIST.

    In Christ Pt.6

    Your identity isn’t found in what you did. It’s found in what Jesus shed. In In Christ Pt. 6, Pastor Jon Purkey continues through Ephesians 2:11–13 and the radical change that happens when someone who was once far from God is brought near through the blood of Jesus Christ. Paul tells the believers in Ephesus not to forget that they were once outsiders—not to produce shame, but gratitude. Because remembering what God brought you out of is one of the greatest defenses against pride and self-righteousness. Pastor Jon challenges us to examine the difference between outward religion and inward transformation. You can change your behavior without surrendering your heart. You can know how to look the part without ever experiencing the power of a life transformed by Jesus. This message is a call back to the Word, the Holy Spirit, discipleship, and the blood of Christ. Because Christ tells you who you are. The blood tells you how you got there. If you’ve been allowing your past, your mistakes, religion, or someone else’s label to define you, this message will remind you of what Jesus has already done.

    In Christ Pt. 5

    BUT GOD | IN CHRIST Part 5 — Ephesians 2:1–10 You weren't just broken. You weren't just struggling. You were dead. And dead people don't need behavior modification. Dead people need resurrection. In Part 5 of IN CHRIST: A Study Through Ephesians, Pastor Jon Purkey walks through Ephesians 2:1–10 and the radical truth of the gospel: we were dead in our sin, enslaved to what we obeyed, and unable to save ourselves. Then two words change everything: BUT GOD. We were dead—but God. We were lost—but God. We were slaves to sin—but God. Because of His great love and rich mercy, God made us alive with Christ, raised us with Christ, and seated us with Christ. This isn't a message about trying harder to become a better Christian. It's about surrendering your strength, depending completely on Christ, and receiving what Jesus has already accomplished. Grace is what God provides. Faith is how we receive it. You are saved by grace through faith. You cannot take credit for it. Salvation is God's gift. And now you are His masterpiece. You weren't saved by good works. You were saved for good works. Maybe all you can see right now is the rough draft. God already sees the finished work. 📖 Scripture: Ephesians 2:1–10 🎙️ Speaker: Pastor Jon Purkey 🔥 Series: IN CHRIST — A Study Through Ephesians ⛪ Nexus Church | Kansas City If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs to hear the gospel and remember what God’s grace can do.

    In Christ Pt. 4

    What if the answer isn't more advice—but wisdom and revelation from God? In this message from IN CHRIST: A Study Through Ephesians, Pastor Jon Purkey finishes Ephesians 1 and unpacks Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 1:15–23. Paul wasn't praying that believers would simply get more. He prayed that God would give them wisdom and revelation so the eyes of their hearts would be flooded with light—and they could finally recognize what God had already placed within their reach through Christ. Revelation allows you to see what was already there. Wisdom teaches you what to do with what you now see. This message challenges us to move from simply believing in Jesus to actively following Jesus—praying for people, walking in love, listening to the Holy Spirit, making disciples and carrying the Gospel beyond the walls of the church. You'll also discover why your present circumstances cannot cancel God's calling over your life and why believers don't have to beg God for power He has already made available through Christ. The same power that raised Christ from the dead is at work in those who believe. You don't just need to know more. You need your eyes opened to who you already are and what you already carry IN CHRIST.

    In Christ Pt. 3

    Knowing about Jesus and following Jesus are not the same thing. In this week’s IN CHRIST: A Study Through Ephesians, Pastor Jon continues through Ephesians 1 and asks a question every believer needs to wrestle with: Are you following Jesus—or have you simply learned how to say you believe? Real faith produces surrender. Real faith produces fruit. And when we belong to Christ, the Holy Spirit doesn’t simply live within us—He empowers us to live differently, follow boldly, and become disciples who make disciples. You were not saved just to make a confession. You were called to follow. And you don’t have to follow Jesus in your own strength. The Holy Spirit is your help, your power, and the guarantee that there is still more to come. 🎧 Take this message with you this week. Listen to the Nexus Church Podcast on your favorite podcast platform and continue our verse-by-verse journey through Ephesians. Be a disciple. Make disciples.

    In Christ

    Some of us are still trying to earn what Jesus already paid for. In Part 2 of In Christ, Pastor Jon Purkey continues through Ephesians 1 and reminds us that the Christian life doesn't begin with what we do for God. It begins with understanding what God has already done for us in Christ. Through Jesus, you have been redeemed. Your forgiveness was purchased by His blood. God's grace toward you isn't rationed—it is lavished. And you have been given an inheritance you could never earn through your own works. But grace isn't an excuse to remain unchanged. The same Jesus who redeems us also calls us to surrender every area of our lives to His authority. Your marriage. Your money. Your ambitions. Your relationships. Your future. You don't have to earn what Jesus already purchased. You have to learn how to live from what you've already been given. You are redeemed. You are forgiven. You are an heir. You are in Christ.

    In Christ

    What if you stopped trying to earn what Jesus has already given you? In this message, Pastor Jon begins our IN CHRIST series through the book of Ephesians, unpacking what it means to truly know who you are in Jesus. You are not waiting to be chosen. You are not working to become loved. You are not fighting to earn acceptance. In Christ, you are chosen, loved, adopted, forgiven, and already blessed with every spiritual blessing. Your past may tell one story. People may remember an old version of you. But when you are in Christ, God’s verdict gets the final word. The enemy points to what you did. Jesus points to what He finished. It’s time to stop trying to earn what Jesus already purchased and start living from your identity, inheritance, and authority in Christ. 📖 Ephesians 1:1–6 | Galatians 1:15 | Romans 8:15–17 If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs to be reminded of who they are in Christ.

    Louder Than Fear

    Fear has a voice—and if we aren’t careful, it can become the loudest voice in our lives. In this message from Numbers 13–14, we look at the twelve spies who saw the same land, the same giants, and the same obstacles, yet came back with completely different reports. Ten interpreted what they saw through fear. Joshua and Caleb interpreted it through faith. Faith doesn’t deny the giant. Faith remembers that God is there too. Fear can distort how we see ourselves, magnify what’s against us, and convince us to retreat into what feels familiar. But God has not called us to be controlled by fear. Courage is obedience in the presence of fear, and when fear starts speaking, we can let the Word of God answer. In this message, discover how to: • Recognize when fear is shaping your decisions • Interpret your circumstances through faith instead of fear • Stop allowing fear to minimize who God has called you to be • Remember God’s faithfulness when the future feels uncertain • Choose obedience even when you still feel afraid • Let God’s Word become louder than fear Scripture: Numbers 13–14 When the report changes, the Lord is. When people leave, the Lord is. When you don’t understand what’s happening, the Lord is. Fear may be loud—but God’s Word is louder. Give: nexuskc.com/give
