A Ministry of Reconciliation
God strengthens us in our weakness by reconciling us to Himself. This is what the Gospel is all about. This is the point of the story of salvation in Scripture. “God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them (2 Corinthians 5:19).” But not only has God given us the grace of reconciliation through the cross, He has also called us as His people to be ambassadors of reconciliation, bringing the good news of Jesus to all people. What does it mean that we as a church are called to a ministry of reconciliation?
From Series: "Strength in our Weakness (2 Corinthians)"
COVID has been exhausting on many levels. Even as it appears that in some ways that we are coming out of the pandemic, in many ways the disruption is far from over. So many changes, upheavals, and canceled plans have left many exhausted, discouraged, and stressed – sometimes beyond what we even realize. We need strength. We need encouragement. God provides this in abundance through His grace. This summer, we will be focus on encouraging words from Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians in our worship series “Strength in our Weakness.”
