In a world marked by divisions and discord, the theme of reconciliation holds profound significance for us all. The words of the Apostle Paul to the Colossians have timeless relevance as we strive to bridge the divides in our communities and even within our own congregations. We will explore the depth of this reconciliation, understanding that it is not just between individuals, but it extends to all things on earth and in heaven; that we are fully reconciled through Christ. Join us as we explore how we can bring the message of reconciliation to a world in desperate need of healing.
