The Cross, Part 1 - Reconciled in Christ

This sermon, titled "Cross Part 1: Reconciled in Christ" focuses on the central theme for 2025: The Cross. Vivian begins by emphasizing the impossibility of attaining perfection (100%) on our own, likening it to an exam with a pass mark of 100% that only Jesus can achieve on our behalf. This analogy underscores the significance of the cross as the ultimate expression of Christ taking our failings and granting us righteousness through His sacrifice. The sermon explores the offense of the cross, noting that while the world accepts God’s love, provision, and mercy, it struggles with the cross’s message of sin, judgment, and holiness. The cross demands a response, often dividing true believers from those who claim faith superficially. The message challenges listeners to place the cross at the center of their lives, thoughts, and actions. In this transformative episode, we explore what it means to be reconciled in Christ and how this reconciliation shapes our identity and relationships in 2025. Drawing from Colossians 1:22-23 and 2 Corinthians 5:18-20, we are reminded that God has called us holy, blameless, and above reproach—not in our own sight, but in His. Tune in to discover how reconciliation with God, people, and the Church positions us to walk in holiness, exercise our spiritual gifts, and serve as ambassadors for Christ in the year ahead.
