What if the world’s deepest wounds could be answered by a different kind of cry? This episode, we’re breaking down a powerful sermon that starts with a stark contrast: the blood of Abel, which cries out for revenge, and the blood of Jesus, which cries out for reconciliation.
Pastor Michelle Harding takes us on a journey into the book of Jeremiah, with the weeping prophet who felt the ache of his people’s sin in his own heart. Together, we’ll explore why sin is like a scorching desert wind, how hell is defined as a distance from love, and what it truly means to hold grief for the sins of others without giving in to hate.
This is a call to move beyond the world’s economy of vengeance and into the radical, active love of Agape. It’s about learning to lament, embracing true repentance, and building our lives on the rock of Christ instead of the shifting sand of sin.
Join us for a conversation about how we can embody the words of Jesus and become people of reconciliation.
Key Discussion Points:
The Two Cries: Abel’s Blood vs. Jesus’ Blood.
The Weeping Prophet: Lessons from Jeremiah’s lament.
Sin’s Mechanism: Why it’s like a “hot desert wind.”
Agape in Action: Why love is a verb, not just a feeling.
From Sand to Rock: Shifting our foundation from sin to obedience.
Tune in for a compelling look at how to answer the cry for revenge with the transformative power of grace.
