| RECONCILERS |
Pastor Jessica Fernandez
January 26, 2025

The world is fractured by conflict, injustice, and division, leaving people longing for peace, healing, and unity. As followers of Christ, we are called to step into this brokenness and become reconcilers, reflecting God’s heart for restoration. In this sermon, we will explore how God reconciled us to Himself through Christ and entrusted us with the ministry of reconciliation. We will unpack the biblical call to bridge divides, heal relationships, and share the message of hope and unity in a divided world. Together, we’ll discover what it means to live as ambassadors of Christ, actively building bridges and restoring what’s broken through His love and power.

______

1. Are there people in your life that you need to reconcile with? What steps can you take this week to move toward forgiveness and restoration?

2. Where do you see division in your home, family, community, workplace, or church? How can you personally act as a bridge-builder in those spaces?

3. Reconciliation often requires humility, courage, and sacrifice. What might you need to let go of—pride, comfort, or resentment—to pursue reconciliation in your relationships?

4. How does understanding that “there is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:28) challenge the way you view and treat others?

5. Paul took an active role in mediating between Philemon and Onesimus. Who in your life might need an advocate or someone to stand in the gap for them? How can you reflect Christ in that situation?
