Text: 2 Corinthians 5:16-21

Theme: Recognizing Mother’s Day – knowing that faith has been imparted through spiritual mothers (not necessarily biological ones), we explore: through whom did your faith come?  Chances are it came through a woman of faith; women set the example for what it means to be an ambassador of Christ.

Prayer:

Lord, open our hearts and minds through the power of your Holy Spirit, so that as scriptures are read and your Word is proclaimed, we may hear with joy what you say to us today. Amen.

Text: 2 Corinthians 5:16-21

16 From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a human point of view; even though we once knew Christ from a human point of view, we know him no longer in that way. 17 So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us. 20 So we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us; we entreat you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteous more. . .
