The intricacies of God’s creation never cease to amaze. Sure, you’ve got the spectacular views of the millions and billions of stars on a clear summer night or the variegated colors of the sunset as it sinks over the horizon. But, it’s some of the littlest things that are the most amazing.
Today I’m going to talk about roots. But I’m not talking about plant roots. I’m talking about people’s roots. Maybe you’ve heard the phrase, “Don’t forget where you come from.”

If you’ve been following along with our series this summer as we look at Romans 101: One word at a time, today may be a first for many of you. We’ve already looked at words like Atonement, Righteousness, and Reconciliation. We’ve talked about concepts like baptism and sin. Yet, even if you’re new to the church, you’ve likely heard those words before in some setting, even if you didn’t know what they meant. Today, I’m guessing, is different.

Reconciliation is our word for today and in more ways than one. We live in a country that longs for reconciliation.
