Jesus the Reconciler Part 4 – by Justin Renton
September 27, 2026
Sermon recap:
Put God first by identifying and crucifying the idols competing for your time, money, and talent. True reconciliation requires guarding your heart and giving God your first fruits—not your leftovers. When you actively prioritise his kingdom, he sustains you; when he is second, you rely on your own strength.
Growth demands intentional spiritual effort: pray, schedule dedicated time for worship, and actively use your talents. Avoid stagnation, choose the best over the good, and let your actions lead your heart.

Conflict begins in the heart. Jesus calls us to own our part, pursue peace, avoid gossip, show mercy and bless rather than avenge.
Because Jesus reconciled us to God through the cross, we are called to pursue reconciliation with God, one another, and the world around us.
Jesus reconciles us to the Father and teaches us to extend his grace, helping us forgive one another, heal relationships, and walk together in peace.
