He emphasizes that all Christians have a ministry – the ministry of reconciliation – and a message to proclaim – the message of reconciliation. Pastor Josh explains the importance of trusting in Christ, being a new creation, and understanding the role of believers in preaching the gospel. The sermon focuses on the transformative power of Jesus' sacrifice and urges listeners to embrace their ministry and spread the word of God's love and salvation.
