Reconciled

Are you at odds with someone today? A co-worker, friend, family member, or neighbor? Esau and Jacob were estranged from each other for at least twenty years. After decades of cold silence these twin brothers reconcile (Genesis 32-33). Before Jacob could reconcile with Esau he needed to pray, wrestling with God, and become willing to make the first move. If you missed this weekend's message entitled "Wrestling with Forgiveness" you can listen to it here.


This Palm Sunday weekend (March 19-20) marks the beginning of Holy Week. Read the story of Jesus' crucifixion in Luke 23:32-43 in preparation. Rulers scoff, soldiers mock, and passersby gawk. One criminal joins the crowd's derision while another asks for mercy. Where are you in this story?
