The sermon from our Sunday morning service on the 17th of May, 2026.
A sermon by Brad Snyder based on 2 Corinthians 5:18-21 preached on May 3rd as part of our sermon series called "Glorious Weakness: Discovering Our Transformed Life In Christ."
In this episode, we explore the profound “Great Exchange” in 2 Corinthians 5—where Jesus takes on human sin so that we can be reconciled to God. Discover how, as believers, we are freed from our old, shame-filled identities and no longer need to hide from God, but instead are called to live as new creations, carrying the message of reconciliation into the world.
Our sins are laid on Christ and his righteousness is laid on us. That is the great exchange — and it becomes ours not by works but by faith.
Understand the perfect finished work of Christ on the Cross, which provided for our full salvation and freedom from sin and all its results (the curse), in 3 aspects (1) Propitiation (the God-ward aspect), (2) Reconciliation (the man-ward aspect) and (3) Redemption (the sin-ward aspect). reconciliation, and redemption, and how tChrist's sacrifice provides salvation and freedom from sin. #FinishedWorkofChrist #Salvation #Propitiation #Reconciliation #Redemption #GreatExchange #InChrist #CrossofChrist

Valerie Carter is the founder and director of RRT Ministries, Rescued, Redeemed, Transformed, a global Christ-centred ministry walking alongside survivors of human trafficking, sexual exploitation, and complex trauma. Growing up in Oakland, California, Valerie experienced profound abuse from a very young age, but also an extraordinary encounter with heaven that gave her both the promise of healing and a clear assignment for her life. In this conversation she speaks with remarkable honesty about the fear that gripped her for decades, the moment repentance broke it completely, and the cancer diagnosis that confronted her with the cost of unforgiveness. Hers is a story of a life not just survived, but genuinely transformed. For more than 20 years, Valerie has been turning her own hard-won freedom into hope for some of the most wounded women in the world. She offers a frank and eye-opening look at what human trafficking actually is, often far closer to home than most people realise, and shares the gentle, patient, faith-filled approach she uses to walk survivors towards healing through her program, The Great Exchange. Whether you have experienced significant trauma yourself or simply want to understand how God redeems the darkest of stories, this episode will move you, challenge you, and leave you with a deeper understanding of what it truly means to be rescued, redeemed, and transformed.

This week, we return to the book of Habakkuk for our final sermon in the series. In Habakkuk 3:16-19, we will witness a great exchange: fear transformed to faith, and anguish replaced by adoration. Habakkuk comes to understand that no earthly or material blessing compares to the joy of knowing God, and trusting His word. Life is not about knowing the “why,” it is about knowing the “who!”When all is stripped away, when earthly blessings fade, and when relief from suffering is far away, Habakkuk realizes that he still has God. He is preserved and strengthened by the God of his salvation. Join us this Sunday, as we aim to follow in the footsteps of Habakkuk, rejoicing in God through all circumstances.

In the cross we see the incredible generosity of Jesus where he takes the worst of us onto Himself, and gives us the best of Himself as a free gift of grace.
RISEN TO REIGN ( THE KING, THE KINGDOM & THE GREAT EXCHANGE
In the heart of history stands a man who, at first glance, appeared ordinary—born of a young innocent woman named Mary.Yet through the testimony of many, He was known as a healer, a worker of miracles, and a teacher whose presence and thought inspired absolute awe.The greatest voice of the Old Testament declared Him to be the Lamb of God.Yet others rejected Him.And then came the moment.In one of those most striking scenes in history, two men stood before the crowd.Both of them were the accused.Both were named Jesus.One was a known insurrectionist and murderer— Jesus, named Barabbas.The other was the Lamb of God… The Bar AbbaAnd the choice was made.“Release Barabbas… and crucify Jesus.” The crowd hollered.The guilty one walked free butthe innocent One was led to die on The Cross.The King was crucified in the place of the criminal.The King died, and was buried in a borrowed tomb.A stone was rolled over the tomb.The Roman seal was set upon it.The Roman guards were put in place.As far as the world could see, it was all over for the dream.But early on Sunday morning, the stone had already been rolled away.The tomb was now empty.And the King was no longer there. “He is risen! He is risen!” became the most popular statement in town.The question is—what does this mean?Not just for history.But what does this mean for you.
At the center of the gospel stands the cross—where everything changed. In The Great Exchange, we see how Jesus Christ took our place, bearing sin, shame, and death so that we could receive life, righteousness, and peace with God. Through His blood, He reconciled all things to Himself, fulfilling the promise from the beginning and securing our redemption. This exchange does more than forgive—it transforms. Through the cross, Christ conquers Satan, breaks the power of sin, and delivers us from the bondage of self. What was once death is now life; what was once broken is now made new. As believers, we are not only redeemed but also made new creations, called to live in the victory He has already won. The cross is not just something to admire—it is something to embrace. Jesus died for sin, but we are called to die to sin, walking daily in the freedom and new life He has given. This is the power and promise of The Great Exchange.
Easter reveals the greatest exchange in history when Jesus willingly took our place on the cross. Like the Passover lamb that saved Israel from death, Jesus became our spotless sacrifice. The story of Barabbas perfectly illustrates this exchange - a guilty murderer walked free while innocent Jesus died in his place. We are all like Barabbas, condemned by our sin, yet Jesus took our cross and our punishment. Through His sacrifice, we can walk free from guilt and shame, receiving His righteousness in place of our sin.
What if Easter isn't just something we remember, but an exchange we're invited into? Easter is the story of The Greatest Exchange: Jesus takes our brokenness and offers us new life. Listen to how He takes our shame and offers us hope and freedom.Join us on Sundays in-person, 10:30am at The Littlehampton Academy, UKGet in contactVisit our website at arunchurch.com@arunchurch on Facebook, Instagram and YouTubeEmail us on hello@arunchurch.comPlease note, while we aim for clear teaching on the Christian faith, the views, information and opinions expressed by individuals on this podcast do not necessarily represent the views held by Arun Church or its representatives.

Easter is not just that Jesus rose from the dead—it is that the crucified Christ is alive. Through the story of Barabbas, this sermon explores the powerful exchange at the heart of the Gospel: our guilt placed on Jesus, and His life given to us. The resurrection calls us not to stand at a distance, but to move forward in faith, trusting the risen Lord who goes before us and invites us into new life.
On Good Friday, we ask: What was God doing at the cross?From 2 Corinthians 5:21, we see the heart of the gospel—Jesus took our place, bearing our sin so we could be made righteous in Him.Because of the cross, our debt is paid, our condemnation is gone, and our standing before God is secure in Christ.Be reconciled to God.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com
This is a very special day for Christians. It's the day we remember the painful death Jesus suffered on the cross of Calvary; a death He willing accepted in order to save us from an eternity separated from Him. It truly was the greatest act of love ever performed in all of human history.

What if the most "lopsided trade" in history wasn't a sports deal or a land grab, but a courtroom exchange 2,000 years ago? We often look at the story of Barabbas as a historical footnote, but the truth is much more personal: We are Barabbas.In this message, we kick off our Easter series by looking at the "Great Exchange." We explore the notorious figure of Barabbas—a rebel, a thief, and a murderer—who walked free while the innocent Son of God took his place on the cross.Whether you are carrying a "scarlet letter" of shame, struggling with a rebellious heart, or feeling defined by your past mistakes, this sermon is a reminder that grace isn't a fair trade—it's a gift. God treated Jesus like Barabbas so that He could treat you like Jesus.[Scripture References]Mark 15:1-151 Peter 2:22Philippians 2:6-82 Corinthians 5:21If this message encouraged you, please Like the video and Subscribe to our channel to follow along with our Easter series.Are you ready to make the "Great Exchange" today?

The finished work of Christ on the Cross was a great achievement providing a perfect basis for our eternal salvation. On the Cross, Christ provided a perfect salvation for all men, so that we might be saved from sin and all its effects. It consists of 3 aspects: Propitiation (the God-ward aspect), Reconciliation (the man-ward aspect), and Redemption (the sin-ward aspect). We study these 3 aspects in detail, and point out that they are all accomplished in Christ, through His Blood, and only become effectual for us, when we receive Christ as our Lord and Saviour, for only then are we put (baptised) into Christ, where these truths become reality. Explore the significance of being made righteous through faith and how it enables us to walk in the fullness of God's grace.
Dr. Kurt Bjorklund unpacks Romans 3:21-31, revealing that justification before God is a gift of grace—not something earned through performance or relationships. If you've been looking for validation in your career, appearance, or loved ones, this message will show you why the "great exchange" changes everything about how you live today.Summary and Transcript - https://www.orchardhillchurch.com/blog-post/2026/2/16/gift-of-grace-7-the-great-exchangeSubscribe to Orchard Hill Plus! - https://orchardhillplus.buzzsprout.com/shareConnect with Orchard Hill ChurchWebsite | https://www.orchardhillchurch.comMobile App | https://https://www.orchardhillchurch.com/appYouTube | https://www.youtube.com/channel/OrchardHillChurchPAFacebook | https://www.facebook.com/orchardhillchurch/Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/orchardhillchurch/Twitter | https://twitter.com/orchard_hill
The Great Exchange #RTTBROS #Nightlight"For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." — 2 Corinthians 5:21You know, there's a quote from Martin Luther that's been rattling around in my head lately. He said, "Lord Jesus, you are my righteousness, I am your sin. You took on you what was mine; yet set on me what was yours. You became what you were not, that I might become what I was not."Now, preachers never say anything short, but Luther managed to capture the entire Gospel in one beautiful sentence. This is what theologians call "The Great Exchange," and friend, if you can wrap your heart around this truth, it'll change everything.Here's what happened at the cross. Jesus, who never sinned, not even once, took on all of my sin, all of your sin, every dark thought, every harsh word, every broken promise, every failure. He became what He was not so that we could become what we were not. Think about that for a minute. The sinless Son of God became sin itself so that sinful people like you and me could become righteous before a holy God.It's like the ultimate trade, except it was completely one-sided. I brought nothing to the table but my mess, my brokenness, my rebellion. And Jesus said, "I'll take that. And here, take my righteousness, my holiness, my perfect record before the Father."Paul puts it this way in Galatians 2:20: "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."See, this isn't just theological talk. This is the exchanged life. When you come to Christ, you give Him your sin and He gives you His righteousness and His life. You died with Him on that cross, but you also rose with Him. Now Christ lives in you, and the life you're living isn't really yours anymore. It's His life, lived through you, by faith.I'm too soon old and too late smart to have figured this out on my own. But here's what I know now: I don't have to work up righteousness. I don't have to earn God's approval. Jesus already did that. He took my place on the cross, and when God looks at me, He sees Jesus' righteousness, not my failures.That's the cornerstone of the Gospel, friend. That's the foundation everything else is built on. Jesus became what He was not, that you and I might become what we were not. He became sin so we could become righteous. He died so we could live.History is just HIS story, and this is the greatest exchange in all of history. Jesus took our sin and gave us His righteousness. That's the Gospel in a nutshell.Let's pray: Father, thank You for the great exchange. Thank You that Jesus took our sin upon Himself so that we could receive His righteousness. Help us live in the freedom and joy of this truth every single day. In Jesus' name, Amen.#Faith #Gospel #Salvation #TheGreatExchange #ChristianLiving #DailyDevotion #BiblicalTruth #SpiritualGrowth #RTTBROS #NightlightBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
