Loving God. Loving people. Serving our community.
Listen to Jonathan Woolner speak about the love the father shows to his sons and daughters, which cannot be earned. The “good son” is challenged to be reconciled to the father by his own ego. Forgiveness is offered before, during, and after our sin by the father. Obedience is a result of the father’s love, not it’s cause. Radical love wins the heart, not condemnation. Read along in Luke 15:11-32.

The Sermon audio was believed not to have been successfully recorded this Sunday. You are encouraged to read John 11:17-38. Jesus spoke an encouraging word to Martha, but sat and wept with Mary and the mourning others. Consider making room for pain as Jesus did, and to sit and weep with others, move through the pain, and transcend in humility with God’s grace. Allow times of silence to hear from God.
