Pastor Bramwell preached this sermon on Ephesians 2:1-10 for the Eleventh Sunday after Trinity, August 20, 2023. This version was recorded for the benefit of those unable to attend the Divine Service and for the evangelism efforts of the congregation.

You were once dead in your trespasses and sins, a son of disobedience following Satan. Not anymore. You have been saved by grace. Jesus died for you so that you would be saved.

Readings for the Day:

Old Testament: Gensesis 4:1-15

Epistle: Ephesians 2:1-10

Gospel: Luke 18:9-14
