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.

What could bind together diverse races and ethnic groups? Because Jesus reconciled us to one another, we can find a humble unity at the foot of the cross.

We are in dire need of God’s grace. We’re not merely sick; we require a resurrection from God because we can’t fix ourselves.

Most of us pray for immediate concerns. But Paul taught the Ephesians to pray with a view to God’s big picture. In this message, Pastor Lutzer makes two life-changing observations about praying in God’s will. Even in times of difficulty or betrayal, Jesus is above it all, fully aware of our need.
