Reconciliation

In this Church on the Move Roswell message, Pastor Troy Smothermon teaches from 2 Corinthians 5:18–21 on the ministry of reconciliation, emphasizing that every believer is a royal priest and ambassador for Christ. He explains how the Old Testament priesthood pointed forward to the Messiah, while Christians look back to Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection as God’s intentional answer to humanity’s need, with Christ becoming a curse on the cross and paying for sin once and for all. He defines redemption as being bought back by the precious blood of Jesus (1 Peter 1:18–19), bringing forgiveness, restoration, adoption, and freedom from sin and shame. The church is urged to participate—not spectate—through prayer, intercession, repentance, and bold witness, and the message ends with an invitation to surrender to Jesus in prayer.
