Welcome to the podcast of Nexus Church led by Pastor Jon Purkey. Nexus Church is all about spreading the love of Christ to a lost and dying world. Our mandate is to destroy the misconceptions that Religion has put in the minds of people concerning the true nature of God.

What does it really mean to belong to the Kingdom of God? And do we still believe that God's Word has the power to heal, restore, and transform lives today?
In Part 8 of our IN CHRIST series, Pastor Jon Purkey continues through Ephesians 2, challenging believers to stop identifying with the world and begin living as citizens of Heaven.
Being IN CHRIST is more than a confession of faith. It's a complete surrender to the Lordship of Jesus, a new identity, and a call to live according to the unchanging Word of God.
As the message unfolds, Pastor Jon teaches on divine healing through John 5, where Jesus asks a man who had been unable to walk for 38 years a life-changing question: "Do you want to be made whole?"
What follows is a powerful time of prayer, testimonies, and a call for the Church to believe God's Word and put faith into action.
This episode will challenge you to examine what you believe, who you belong to, and whether you're willing to trust Jesus with every area of your life.
Scripture References: Ephesians 2:19–22, 1 Peter 2:11, John 1, John 5

In Christ Pt. 7
Jesus didn’t just forgive your sin—He changed your access.
In Part 7 of IN CHRIST, Pastor Jon Purkey continues through Ephesians 2 and unpacks what the cross actually accomplished.
Jesus brought us peace with God, offers us the peace of God, broke down the walls that separated us, and created one new people in Christ.
In this message, Pastor Jon addresses anxiety, spiritual authority, the gifts of the Holy Spirit, division in the Church, law versus grace, and the identity every believer now carries because of Jesus.
The Law can show you what’s wrong, but it cannot make you clean. Jesus did what you could never do for yourself.
And because of His blood, you no longer have to stand outside.
You have access to the Father.
You’ll hear:
• Why supernatural peace isn't dependent on your circumstances
• How carrying yesterday and worrying about tomorrow can overload your mind
• Why your identity in Christ must be stronger than cultural or family identity
• The difference between Law and grace
• Why grace empowers holiness rather than excuses sin
• How the cross destroyed the wall of hostility
• Why there is only one door to the Father—Jesus
• How to stop punishing yourself for what Christ already paid for
• Why the Church needs every believer operating in their God-given gifts
“We were outsiders. We were without Christ. We were without hope. But God intervened. The blood brought us near. The cross tore down the wall. Jesus made us one people. And now we have access to the Father. That’s the gospel.”

In Christ Pt.6
Your identity isn’t found in what you did. It’s found in what Jesus shed.
In In Christ Pt. 6, Pastor Jon Purkey continues through Ephesians 2:11–13 and the radical change that happens when someone who was once far from God is brought near through the blood of Jesus Christ.
Paul tells the believers in Ephesus not to forget that they were once outsiders—not to produce shame, but gratitude. Because remembering what God brought you out of is one of the greatest defenses against pride and self-righteousness.
Pastor Jon challenges us to examine the difference between outward religion and inward transformation. You can change your behavior without surrendering your heart. You can know how to look the part without ever experiencing the power of a life transformed by Jesus.
This message is a call back to the Word, the Holy Spirit, discipleship, and the blood of Christ.
Because Christ tells you who you are. The blood tells you how you got there.
If you’ve been allowing your past, your mistakes, religion, or someone else’s label to define you, this message will remind you of what Jesus has already done.
Scripture: Ephesians 2:11–13
