Reconcilable Differences Part 2: Politics
Bill Corley
Original Air Date: 2024.01.14
We may all be familiar with the term, Irreconcilable Differences. Usually referring to a married couple who are seeking divorce and determines that their differences are too large to overcome – there is no hope. This is an extremely sad situation.
Even in the Christian church, people can have differences that can present problems – after all churches are simply filled with imperfect humans! But God gives all people hope for reconciliation...
2 Corinthians 5:17-19 states: Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 18 All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.
This is hope! When we choose to follow Jesus, we are a new creation – the old life is gone, and we get a clean slate and a second chance. First, God repairs our standing with Him, then He gives us the ability to reconcile differences with others.
In this series, RECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES, we are going to spend time learning how to reconcile the differences we may have with others in and out of the church, including: Marriage and Parenting, Politics, Generational differences, and internal church issues.
You are invited to join us on January 7, 2024, and encourage you to invite anyone you know who needs hope in their relationships.
