Episode 153 - Luke 147 - Working reconciliation (Luke 23 45b)
Sunday Sermon from Crosspoint Church continues through Luke 23, focusing on the moment “the curtain of the temple was torn in two” and what it reveals about sin, separation from God, and Christ’s work of reconciliation. Pastor Dafydd Hughes traces the theme from Eden to the tabernacle and the sacrificial system, showing how Jesus’ finished work opens a new and living way into God’s presence—and calls believers to sanctification, holiness, and life together in the church. Produced by Manawatū People’s Radio with support from New Zealand On Air.
