Not The God We Would Choose
We make idols of the heart whenever we think that our performance means God will do for us whatever we want. While we no longer make wooden statues, we will tithe to get God's prosperity or attend church in hopes that God will give us family stability. Instead, the Living God challenges our sin like no idol would, but also reaches out to us with grace like no god of our own making could. Sermon included Rob Bell's Nooma video: Lump.

The Forgiving Father
Have you ever thought about who you believe God is? Have you ever thought about who you really are? Jesus shows us the answers to these questions through the story of the prodigal son found in Luke 15:11-24. God is relational, merciful, forgiving, and wants to restore our broken relationship with Him. We, like the prodigal son, are trying to live life on our own terms doing what we want. We have all believed at some point, if not now, that the good life has nothing to do with God. We need to turn from our sins and go back to the Father, just as the son went back to his father.
