Episode 4
In this episode of Beyond Sunday, the team recaps an unforgettable Memorial Day weekend serving with Amor Ministries in Mexico, where 65 Newbreakers helped build three homes for families in need. They also dive deeper into Ephesians 2:1–10, exploring the tension between God's justice and His grace and what it means to be saved by grace through faith. Along the way, they discuss how our view of God shapes the way we live and unpack the powerful truth that we are God’s masterpiece, created with purpose through the work of Jesus. Whether you're looking for encouragement, perspective, or a deeper understanding of the Gospel, this conversation will help you continue the journey beyond Sunday.
What does building homes in Mexico have to do with Ephesians 2? More than you'd expect — and this conversation connects them both.
Share Your Story
One of the most consistent patterns in the book of Ephesians is that God's grace always produces a story worth telling. This week, 65 Newbreakers crossed the border into Mexico and built three homes for families in need — and every one of them came back with a story of what God did in their own hearts in the process. You are God's masterpiece, created with purpose, and that purpose doesn't stay inside a church building. You just need a willingness to share what God is doing in your life right now.
Take Your Next Step
Ephesians 2 doesn't just tell us we are saved by grace — it tells us we were created for good works that God prepared in advance for us to do. The team in Mexico didn't wait until they felt ready or spiritually qualified. They showed up, served, and watched God move. Real spiritual growth has never been about having it all together. It's about responding to what God is already showing you. Whether that's joining a mission trip, serving locally, or simply taking your next step of faith — don't wait. Respond to what God is prompting you to do.
Invite Someone & Get Connected
In Ephesians 2, Paul reminds us that we were once far off — but through Jesus, we have been brought near. That same truth drove 65 Newbreakers to cross a border and build homes for families they had never met, because the Gospel has never been about staying comfortable inside our own circles. When you invite someone to church, you're not just filling a seat — you're creating space for them to hear that they are not too far gone, not too broken, and not too forgotten to be part of God's family. And when you stay connected, you grow alongside others instead of trying to carry the weight of faith on your own.
