“Representing Reconciliation”
Sermon given by Pastor Robb on March 16, 2025.
Continues the Many Models for Church sermon series for Lent.
Covers 2 Samuel 15:13-22 and 2 Corinthians 5:11-6:1.
God calls the Church to be a particular kind of people - after God’s own values and salvation life - in how they relate to each other as God gathers them, but also in how they connect with people who aren’t a part of the closely established community. One special metaphor for this that we can be inspired by is “ambassadors.” It may not always be comfortable and simple, but we will find that God has always had the experience of salvation marked by reconciled relationships with people all around us - even and especially those we wouldn’t expect and that the world would be inclined to leave out.
