We live in an age of extraordinary division. We no longer simply disagree with people who see the world differently—we increasingly struggle to coexist with them. But is the church meant to be any different?

In Ephesians 2, Paul describes something extraordinary that Jesus accomplished through the cross. He didn't simply teach reconciliation or encourage people to be more accepting. He broke down the walls of hostility that divide us and created an entirely new humanity.

In this message, Alistair explores why division is more than a cultural problem, how our attempts to create belonging can actually deepen hostility, and how Jesus offers something radically different. Through Scripture, baptism and communion, we're invited to be formed into a community defined not by our differences, but by our shared identity in Christ.

Because the church isn't simply a gathering of people who believe the same things. We're called to be a visible demonstration of the reconciling love of Jesus.
