Summary In this sermon from Romans 5:9–11, Dr. Michael Easley explores the profound truth of reconciliation with God. Drawing from the story of Eric Lomax, a British POW who endured years of torture under Japanese captivity, Dr. Easley illustrates the unimaginable depth of forgiveness and reconciliation between bitter enemies. Lomax's eventual reconciliation with his tormentor serves as a powerful picture of the greater reconciliation God offers to us. Paul reminds believers that through Christ's death we are justified—declared righteous before God—and through His life we are reconciled, no longer enemies but friends of God. Dr. Easley explains the difference between justification, a legal declaration of righteousness, and reconciliation, a relational restoration to peace and friendship with God. Because Christ died for us while we were His enemies, we can be assured He will also save us as His friends. Dr. Easley challenges us to embrace the joyful confidence that comes from being reconciled to God. Our salvation is secure, not by our contributions but by Christ's finished work. As reconciled enemies, we are called to live with humble confidence, rejoicing in the love and grace of God who declares us righteous and calls us His friends. Takeaways Through Christ's death we are justified, declared righteous before God. Reconciliation goes beyond justification, restoring relationships between former enemies. Believers are assured they will escape God's wrath through Christ. If God loved us enough to die for us as enemies, He surely saves us as His friends. Our salvation is secure in Christ's finished work, not our own contributions. Reconciled enemies of God should live with joyful confidence and humble worship. To read the book of Romans, click here.

Pastor Mike teaches how it was in the devil’s heart to accuse people, but Jesus did not come to accuse you before the Father. The account of David and Goliath proves this. Audio> Read the David And Goliath Timeline Decoded
The sermon emphasizes the transformative power of reconciliation through Christ, asserting that believers are no longer judged by outward appearances but are new creations whose minds grasp reality through God's truth. It explores the concept of 're-'—reconciliation, regeneration, redemption, renewal, rebirth—highlighting God's active role in remaking individuals and creation, reversing the effects of sin and restoring them to their intended purpose. The message underscores the importance of understanding that true change comes not through human effort but through God's grace, and challenges listeners to embrace this new reality by sharing the message of reconciliation with others, ultimately leading to the fulfillment of God's plan to unite all things in Christ.
Pastor Mike teaches how God did not want us under the law, but the devil did. Jonah shows that wrath was carried out by the devil and his angels. That wrath has been stilled by Jesus. Audio> Read the Jonah Timeline Decoded
The Father has done an amazing work by reconciling us to Himself. Through Christ, believers are made new creations, no longer defined by our old selves. Paul emphasizes that God has entrusted us with the ministry of reconciliation and given us vital work to do: act as Christ's ambassadors to call others to be reconciled to God.

Pastor Mike teaches scriptural examples of how the law gave occasion for demons to accuse and condemn — the destroyer being the weapon formed against them. God took occasion through Jesus to justify and give life. Audio>
In our Gospel reading from St. Matthew 5, our Lord teaches us how we are to live towards those we have offended. To forgive those who have offended us is one thing, but what is our relational responsibility toward those we have offended. Our Lord is very clear. He teaches us to put our offering to Him down, go and be reconciled first, then come and bring our offering to Him. To go to one we have offended and plead for their forgiveness is an act of great mercy. And, as we considered a few weeks ago, Christ our God calls us to be merciful as our Father is merciful.
We are living through intense division in our society. But the problem of division is not unique to our time. The first book of the Bible, Genesis, is filled with division. In this sermon series, “Jacob: God's Hope for a Divided People," we will study the story of Jacob (Genesis 25-48) to consider the great hope God gives us for redemption and reconciliation across seemingly irreconcilable differences.

Today's Promise: 2 Corinthians 5:18 God uses the word "reconcile" in this promise. It is not a word we use very often. It means to bring together or to change thoroughly. It's the picture of two enemies becoming friends. God has reconciled us to Him. Through Jesus Christ, although we were once enemies, we are now friends of God. Since you are a new creature and have the righteousness of Christ in you, God calls you to a ministry of reconciliation. You are to help your friends become reconciled to God.
Pastor Mike teaches how the new covenant was given through the Word (Jesus), the exact representation of God, but the law was given through angels. Audio>

In “I Am Reconciled,” Pastor Dave Gustavsen shares how Jesus breaks down the walls that divide us from God and from each another. Teaching from Ephesians 2, he explains how Jesus' sacrifice brings peace and creates a new way for us to live in unity. Through His death on the cross, we can draw close to God and find healing in broken relationships. No wall of anger, hurt, or division is too strong for the power of His love to overcome.

Watch this talk on YouTube » Entrepreneurs and high achievers like to talk a lot about how to rewrite their life story, especially in the context of their external accomplishments. I've found that growth more happens in the unseen moments - the times of pain, heartache, and the decisions we face that require courage, forgiveness, and presence. When I got the call that my dad was dying, I knew I had to share this story—our story. This is a talk I gave at Growth Now Summit Live, and with special permission from host Justin Schenck, I'm sharing it here. It's about reconciliation, grief, identity, and the raw, often ugly road to healing. Whether or not you're navigating loss or family conflict, I hope this message invites you to reconnect—with yourself or someone else—before it's too late.

Pastor Mike teaches how the law (on the surface) does not represent God at all. If you’re judging God’s heart by what you see under the law, your mind is blinded to who God truly is. Audio>
