When considering the world as we see it now, God's Word is as applicable now as it was when it was first written. Pastor Lance points out that God's plan for us is to be reconciled with Him, and to then continue that purpose in urging others to be reconciled with God. He starts at the beginning, where enmity was born between God and mankind, and what the Lord was willing to do to bridge the gap between us. Where there was once animosity, rebellion, and opposition, through Christ we have peace and a restored relationship with the God who loves us enough to become like us and die for us. This, Pastor Lance says, is a life-changing narrative. We are never the same after truly encountering the living God who created the universe and made a way for us to know Him. Now, our job as believers is to be ambassadors for the Gospel, boldly standing firm in all that He has done for us. We need to be leaders who represent the Word and heart of God unashamedly, especially in a world that is seeking to push its own rebellious agenda and narrative. Will you let God lead you, by faith...or the culture, by fear?
