We begin a new series on forgiveness and reconciliation as we rotate through the five different service styles once more. Being reconciled to God is huge, it's the reason I came to Winnipeg. It is the reason I preach the good news. That ALL have been reconciled to God is a huge and exciting story. I often feel as though we Christians in North America don't really fully appreciate the significance of this reality. Most of you know how we were reconciled to God but do you truly know and understand what we have gained? It's a whole new life, a different way of thinking and living and loving. What we have gained trumps everything. It is the reason that I came here and it's the reason I am convicted to continue this work elsewhere. I will miss lots of things and people here at GNF but what I gain as one reconciled trumps that too.
