The Grace-Driven Path to Reconciliation

Passage: Philemon 1:17-25

Preacher: Ben Hays

Series:Fixing What's Broken

Summary:

In this powerful message from Pastor Ben, we explore the challenging but essential process of reconciliation through the lens of Paul's letter to Philemon. We're reminded that true reconciliation requires more than just forgiveness - it demands acceptance, restitution, love for the church, and accountability. The story of Philemon, Onesimus, and Paul serves as a profound example of how we can mend broken relationships in our own lives. We're challenged to consider our roles as the one who's been wronged, the one who's done wrong, and the mediator who helps facilitate healing. Through it all, we're reminded that it's the grace of Jesus Christ that compels us towards reconciliation, just as His grace brought us into relationship with God when we were far from Him.
