“Redemptive Relationships, Not Rubrics”
Sermon given by Pastor Robb on May 10, 2026.
Continues the Surpassing Scope and Scale of Salvation sermon series.
Covers Psalm 22:1-11 & 17-24 and Luke 23:32-43.
As we consider all the different ways the Bible describes the breadth and depth of how the atonement extends God’s gracious gift of salvation life, it can happen that our focus fixates on mechanisms for how sin is solved, or on the tasks of Kingdom ministry we are invited and enabled to participate in. These are certainly important, but even more foundational is the salvation is our reconciliation with God who created us, loves us deeply and moves to restore the connection we can be prone to pushing away from. Recognizing and responding to the ways God reaches out and draws us in, and prioritizing that connection in our life is important for not just knowing about, or agreeing with, salvation, but actually experiencing it.
