In this encouraging and insightful sermon, Pastor Cathal Duffy unpacks Ephesians 3:1–13, exploring how Paul saw himself not as a victim of circumstance, but as a prisoner of Christ with a divine calling. Through Paul’s example, we’re reminded that God uses ordinary people to fulfil His extraordinary purposes. Pastor Cathal reflects on God’s plan, grace, and the message of inclusion that extends to all people - Jew and Gentile alike. Drawing on supporting scriptures like Galatians 1, Acts 10, and Romans 8, the sermon invites us to embrace the mystery of Christ and find freedom and purpose in God’s will - even in confinement, challenge, or obscurity.

The Chief Cornerstone
