About this episode

Pastor Heath Lambert discusses how to face relational reckoning and seek reconciliation based on Genesis 32.

Decades of relational sin are coming due. In this message from Genesis 32, Pastor Heath Lambert reveals what to do when you face a relational reckoning—when past mistreatment in relationships catches up with you, and consequences hang over your head. From Jacob's cruel deception of his brother Esau to his brother's threat to kill him, discover three crucial steps for facing broken relationships: reach out wisely through careful communication instead of ignoring the problem, pray by admitting your sin and begging God for restoration, and show kindness by serving those you've hurt rather than behaving selfishly or provocatively. Whether your relational break happened days or decades ago, learn how to leave the door open for reconciliation.
