In this message, Into the Light, Pastor Katy Wheat Borhauer reflects on Romans 12:9–12, 18 and explores what it means for love to be sincere. Drawing from Steps 8 and 9 of recovery, this sermon invites us to move beyond performative apologies and into true repentance—naming the harm we have caused, embracing healthy contrition, and trusting God to transform us from the inside out. This sermon offers practical and spiritual guidance for anyone carrying guilt, unresolved relationships, or the desire to live more truthfully before God and others. Through the stories of Zacchaeus, Psalm 51, and the call to live at peace with everyone as far as it depends on us, Into the Light reminds us that making amends is not about shame. It is about grace, healing, and the new life Jesus makes possible.
