MATTHEW 5:14-16
You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

COLOSSIANS 3:12-15
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.

SERMON OUTLINE
GOODNESS THAT RECONCILES
Genesis 50:15–21
“It
takes two pairs of arms for one embrace.”
– Miroslav Volf
Forgiveness is the decision to stop writing the future with the ink of revenge. Reconciliation is the slow work of writing a new future together.
Things to Consider While Seeking Reconciliation
• Discern the necessity. Is this relationship one God is calling us to restore for the good of those involved?
• Clarify the goal. What would genuine reconciliation actually look like?
• Remember the witness. Every act of reconciliation puts the beauty of the gospel on display.
“When their message came to him, Joseph wept. His brothers then came and threw themselves down before him. But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” – Genesis 50:17-20
“So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view… Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come…All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation..” – 2 Corinthians 5:16-18
introducing a
DEACON MINISTRY at peachtree
We believe one of the ways Christ cares for his church is through faithful men and women who serve others with compassion, encouragement, and prayer.
Thatʼs why we are honored to reintroduce a Deacon Ministry at Peachtree. Following the example of the early church, Deacons serve as ministers of care, helping ensure that no one in our church family is overlooked or alone.
In a congregation the size of ours, a healthy Deacon Ministry helps ensure that Christʼs care and compassion reach throughout the church.
Deacons might serve in many ways, including praying for members of our congregation, serving communion to homebound members, visiting assisted living communities, writing notes of encouragement, and supporting our hospitality ministry by welcoming people on Sunday mornings.
Do you know a member of our church who demonstrates spiritual maturity, has a heart for others, and a desire to serve? We invite you to nominate individuals you believe may be called to serve as ordained Deacons.
