Transcript of Reconcilation
• we have made it about rituals & programs
• we have made it about personal piety
• we have made it very individual & disconnected
• end up worshipping God with walls among us!
• dishonor family gathering due to rifts &
misunderstandings
• offer incomplete & tainted sacrifices
• proceed no further ~ an urgent matter is @ hand
• face up to the walls ~ strained relationships need
to be addressed
• even if it means going out of the way
• reconciled (“diallasso”) ~ to change thoroughly
• laying down arms, pride & anger
• opens doors to authentic worship
• God’s heart beats for reconciliation
• reflects Jesus’s search for us
• sacrifices fragranced by unconditional
love & lavish grace
• the spirit of obedience ~ listen with action
• the broken, contrite spirit ~ of repentance
• the spirit of love ~ unbroken cords between us!
• an honest owning up of unfinished business
• courageous confession of festerings & distortions
• courageous embrace to remove the walls
