Reconciliation With The Father

This powerful sermon explores God's heart for reconciliation with His children through the cross of Jesus Christ. Using the parable of the Prodigal Son and the Pharisee and Tax Collector, the message emphasizes that God doesn't want us to live under condemnation but desires to restore us through repentance. The sermon highlights how conviction from the Holy Spirit should lead to godly sorrow and repentance, not perpetual guilt. The Father is portrayed as actively running toward His children, extending grace before we even reach Him. Delivered on Hanukkah, the first day of the Feast of Dedication, the message connects the rededication of the temple to our lives as temples of the Holy Spirit under the new covenant. The sermon calls believers to examine hidden sins, respond to God's conviction with humility, and experience the freedom that comes through reconciliation with the Father through Jesus Christ.
