The solution to the chaos in the world

This weekend we are starting a new teaching series called “Reconciled.” There is a lot of interest in our world today around the topic of reconciliation. From the “94 Calls to Action” of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to the “Me Too” and “Black Lives Matter” movements, each is centred around the hope that we can change the world and begin to see and treat each other differently.

Over the next 5 weeks we are going to talk about reconciliation, what God has to say about it, and why as God’s people we should be concerned, and pursue reconciliation. We will be talking about being reconciled with God, being reconciled in relationships, being reconciled with those who are different than us, reconciliation between indigenous and non-indigenous people (with guest speaker Dr. Ray Aldred), and the invitation Jesus extends to us to become agents of reconciliation in this world.

This weekend as we start our “Reconciled” series we are going to go back to the beginning. We will discover the starting point for reconciliation because every reconciliation movement is bound to fail unless it begins here. On Sunday we’ll look at Romans 5:1-11 and discover that reconciling with God is the starting point to experiencing reconciliation in every relationship and every part of this world. I hope you’ll join us as we discover that the solution to the chaos in our world is found in reconciling with God.

See you Sunday,

Pastor Kirk
