Pastor Tom Ascol continues his series in 2 Corinthians. In a message entitled “The Ministry of Reconciliation, the pastor opens God’s Word explaining 2 Corinthians 5:11 – 6:2. Using a vignette from the life of Henry David Thoreau, an illustration was drawn showing both mankind’s sincerity and willful ignorance of God’s desire for reconciliation. Today people willfully ignore biblical teachings such as “all have sinned” (Romans 3:23) the result of which leaves them “by nature children of wrath” (Ephesians 2:3). As sincere as we may try to be, ignoring both our biblical estate and God’s reconciling plan of salvation really does show our willful ignorance.
This sermon was given by Dr. Tom Ascol on May 8, 2016 at Grace Baptist Church in Cape Coral, FL.
