Have you ever wished that God would reach down through the clouds with all His plans for your life on a scroll? Don't we all... As we continue our journey around God's story, we look at a moment where God did give someone some instructions... but, not a whole lot of it was new information. It was a simple instruction: go. Sometimes, you just have to go with it!

If you are a Christian, you have experienced some pretty exceptional news: that in the midst of all of the chaos of life and the brokenness throughout the world, He knows you, loves you, and has said some pretty amazing things about you... But, is that where it ends?

If we look around, we can see immense brokenness all around us. The good news is that life isn't supposed to be like this. The better news is that when we couldn't do a thing to change our situation, God came to us. Today, we talk about some VERY good news.

When you look around at the world - current events, tragedies, injustice, and atrocities, the question that often comes to mind is this: is this really how this is supposed to work!? If you have ever asked this question: good! Today, we talk about our world's "factory default" - God's perfect design... and how we got them that point to today. (P.S. - We had some technical difficulties with recording the music and a weird echo that made Pastor Damien sound like a baseball announcer. We're working on resolving the issue. That you for you grace!)

If you were to be asked if the world was perfect, chances are that no matter where you come from or what you believe, our collective response would be the same: nope. The world is bork'd - it's so broken we can't even spell broke right! Today, we begin a multi-part conversation about the nature of the world, it's design, and how we find as well as share the hope of Jesus in the midst of it!

While we get ready to partake in a celebration of freedom, Pastor Damien brings us to a question about what freedom is and what its purpose is in our lives. May you be encouraged and challenged as you listen!

We all need it, but we can't earn it. It's amazing and incredibly unfair. It's given, but completely undeserved... It's grace... and we need a lot of it.

"Your father would like to have a word with you..." Think about that statement for a moment. What kind of feelings does it invoke? Fear? Anticipation? Hope? Dread? This Father's Day, your Heavenly Father would like a a word with you... and it's a good one.

We wrap up our sermon series "Room at the Table" with Room for the Runaway. We all have a "run away" story - whether it's running from something for self-preservation, a need for security, or out of disappointment. Today, we look at the life of a runaway who started in a place of shame and yet, he was welcomed back to Jesus during a moment of incredible failure.
