Pastor Hill speaks on part 2 of the community series "Conflict Resolution"

(Ephesians 2.14-22)

"Community" (Ephesians 2.14-22)

"The Christ in their own hearts is weaker than the Christ in the word of other Christians. Their own hearts are uncertain; those of their brothers and sisters are sure.

We were so grateful to have our dear brother Dr. Samuel Betances speak. His success at bringing cultures together has earned him many awards. Much more than a lecturer, Dr. Betances works to help others learn the importance of pulling cultures together as a way of bringing America back to the top in education, business, and society in general. As he puts it, “Our mission is to make America stronger, healthier and freer than when we found her.”

Ephesians 2.11-18

Summary: At the center of the biblical call to a life of reconciliation is a covenant that God makes with his people. What is that covenant, why is the cross central to it, and how does that shape the way we live as reconcilers?
