Hello Kingdom Family,

Welcome to our Jesus-centered community. We are glad you are listening to today’s message.

“We are People Helping People Experience a Jesus-centered Life.”

Today’s message focuses on 2 Corinthians 5:11-21, where Paul shares the transformative love of Christ with the people of Corinth. Paul is in defensive mode due to false teachers, accusers, haters, and wicked people attempting to taint the gospel message and the character of Paul.

Paul does not attempt to sway the people by crafty sermons but rather the transforming love of Christ. He says Christians are conduits, agents, and ambassadors for Christ and share the ministry of reconciliation. Pastor Harold shares the parable of The Abbot and Hermit to help visualize and resonate with how powerful the transforming love of Christ truly is.

Lastly, Paul reminds us that we are no longer labels of this or that; we are a new creation reconciled at the foot of the cross. We are one body with the mission of helping others experience a Jesus-centered life. By sharing the transforming love of Christ, we can help transformation happen for ourselves, our families, places of employment, churches, community, and the world.
