Main Idea: Rhetoric divides, resurrection unites. Through Jesus, God removes hostility and forms a new family, demonstrated at our tables.

Scripture: Ephesians 2:11-22 illustrates how Jesus breaks down walls of hostility to create a new humanity.

Key Takeaways:

- Honor the image of God in others before addressing issues.

- Listen to understand, not to reload with arguments.

- Practice kind truth over hot takes for healthy communication.

Application: Prioritize reconciliation over rhetoric at our tables by following practical steps like setting boundaries, avoiding triangulation, and practicing the 5:1 blessing ratio. Remember, reconciled people become reconciling people.
