Worship Leader: Mike Colbert Speaker: Steve Estes Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:18-21 Title: God, Humans, Hatfields and McCoys All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us.

Who were they? B. The Civil War C. The hog incident D. Roseanna and Johnse E. Other incidents 2. Our distance from God
