9:30 AM Service
Summary:
This week, Pastor Roberto concludes the Celebrating Healing series by focusing on the restoration of relationships, using Peter’s reconciliation with Jesus from John 21:15-19. Pastor Roberto highlights that relationships, though complex, are central to God’s work of healing. He explores how Peter’s expectations of Jesus caused his failure and how Jesus responded with sacrificial love to restore him. The sermon emphasizes that true healing in relationships requires taking initiative, offering sacrificial love, and committing to reconciliation. The message concludes with seven keys for restoring relationships:
Take the initiative: Be the one to reach out.
Take the high road: Reconciliation requires humility.
Take time: Trust takes time to rebuild.
Take out the trash: Let go of anger and resentment.
Take a listen: Listen attentively before speaking.
Take it seriously: Don’t settle for less than a fresh start.
Take it home: Apply these principles to your relationships today.
