The Reconciliation of All Things | A Sermon for an Anxious World

When the world feels fractured and uncertain, what does Christian hope look like?

In this sermon, The Reconciliation of All Things, Rev. Dr. Lewis Galloway reflects on Amos 5:18–24 and Matthew 17:1–9 to explore how justice, glory, and reconciliation belong together. Amos calls God's people beyond hollow worship toward justice that "rolls down like waters," while the Transfiguration reveals Christ's radiant glory — a vision meant not to remove us from the world, but to steady us for life within it.

In this message, we consider:

• Why worship and justice cannot be separated

• The danger of assuming God is automatically on our side

• How the mountaintop vision strengthens us for the valley

• What it means to participate in God's work of reconciliation

• How trusting God's larger purposes frees us from anxious striving

The future does not depend on our fear or frantic control. It belongs to God. And that frees us to live with courage, clarity, and compassion here and now.
