This sermon summary from Pastor Rob Renberg focuses on Ephesians 2:1-10 and the themes of humanity's sinful state apart from God's grace, the salvation believers have received through faith in Christ, and the good works God has prepared for believers. The sermon notes are divided into three points: 1) Our deadness in sin, 2) Our new life in Christ through faith, and 3) Our purpose of good works through God's grace.
