Reconciled to Reconcile | 2 Corinthians 5:11–21

About this episode

The episode discusses the purpose of being reconciled to God and the call to share the gospel with others.

Why do you exist? Why did God save you? Why did God save you from your sin? Why are you a part of the faith family at First Baptist Church? Why are you here? In our message today, the Apostle Paul reminds us in 2 Corinthians 5 that we have been reconciled to reconcile. We have a purpose in this life, and it is to proclaim the life-transforming gospel of the Lord Jesus from our neighborhoods to the nations. We are God's Plan A to take the good news that God wants to reconcile people to Himself through His Son. No matter who you are or what you've done, God has a plan for your life. And that plan is to know Him, and ultimately to make Him known. Join with us today as we see that we are reconciled to reconcile. --- Have you ever felt powerless?
