REWIND

Lk.15:11-32

You need to realize that you were never worthy to begun with, that you have nothing, before you have to lose it all, in all honesty, in all reality, in confession, in repentance, in the turnaround, in coming out to rely on Jesus, to give Jesus, our Father, our all, and to come back in after an absence, before we have to lose our organs, our legs, our very souls, if I might be so bold in saying so.

Prepare Them, Calmly But Boldly

State the need to fear, for balance, for preparation, for the troubling teen years are coming for them, and you know this as parents, as adults, as the experience, and you must calmly whisper the contrast of such a future that is coming for sure in some ways or another.

For the morning service that followed, Jesus stood in the contrast of the crittics, and so can we.
