When You’ve Been Wronged
Conflict in relationships is inevitable, but healing and reconciliation often is not. Time and again we've tried every option and failed, and all we are left with is a load of guilt and pain. Pastor Erwin Lutzer shows how the blessing the Lord gives to those who suffer unjustly is worth the pain involved. He also illustrates the need to leave our broken relationships in the hands of God and move forward in our lives toward freedom.

After the Millennium, heaven will literally descend to earth in the form of the New Jerusalem. This spectacular city will be the forever home of the redeemed from all the ages. It’s what Jesus referred to when He said, “In My Father’s house are many dwelling places.”
