Relationship Matters

In Matthew 18:15-20, Jesus offers more than a step-by-step approach to conflict. He invites us into relationships marked by honesty, courage, tenderness, and reconciliation. In this sermon, Pastor TJ Johnson explores what it means to become a “sacred companion”: someone who cares enough to tell the truth in love, listens without rushing to judgment, and seeks to regain a relationship rather than win an argument.

Jesus reminds us that the person matters, the relationship matters, and even in the difficult work of reconciliation, Christ is there among us.
