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
In this powerful sermon, Pastor Cathal Duffy explores Ephesians 2:11–22, reflecting on the transformation Christ brings to all who were once far off. Drawing on Paul’s message to the Gentiles, Pastor Cathal explains how the cross tears down walls of hostility and ushers in a new era of reconciliation, unity, and peace. Jew and Gentile alike are brought near by the blood of Christ, welcomed into one family, and built together into a holy temple with Jesus as the chief cornerstone. Supported by passages from Acts, Revelation, and 2 Corinthians, this message speaks hope to the outsider and challenges believers to embrace their place in God’s unified household.
