Summary

In our third day looking at Jesus’ story of the prodigal son, we’re going to take time today to look at how quickly, how instantly God forgives us.

May regret, and fear over God’s judgement be washed away as we see an incredible picture of how quickly and easily God forgives our sins.

Our Scripture for today comes from Luke 15:20, and today's worship is O Come To The Altar by Elevation Worship.

Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out?

Something needs to change!

So, we’re launching the First15 Digital Retreat to help address the challenges we face in connecting with God in this frenetic cultural moment.

When we look to Jesus, we see this exciting, life-giving invitation:

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest.” –Matthew 11:28 MSG

Through the First15 Digital Retreat, you will make space to come, rest, and recover.

Join us and speakers like Craig Denison, Aaron Niequist, Strahan Coleman, Charaia Callabrass, Ashley Abercrombie, and several more, as well like worship by First15 Worship artists like Nikki Moltz and Rachel Denison.
