Set Free: Reckless Joy
September 15, 2019

Pastor Josh Ehrler
Jesus invites us to be careless with joy. We hesitate because we're not sure if its worth it. Or if there's enough Grace to go around. Our gospel is about lost things being found, and the party being reckless and excessive. Kind of like God's kingdom. Full of joy, abundant with life. The second sermon in our Set Free series, based on Luke 15.1-10.
