Due to some technical difficulties the first few minutes of the sermon's audio is not available, therefore this audio recording starts about 5 minutes into the sermon. We apologize for the inconvenience. We all want to have more joy in our lives! But joy is different from happiness because it often comes at the end of suffering or struggles. In this message on the parable of the Lost sheep in Luke 15:3 - 7, there is a struggle going on. The "sinners" are drawing near to hear Jesus and the religious in the crowd are grumbling. Jesus want to lead both groups of sinners to more joy. So He tells them a parable about the nature of God's love for us all as sinners.

Do not be anxious you are not forgotten and God cares for you!

This message concludes the series "Who God Says You Are" by emphasizing that everything God calls us to be builds up to our role as ambassadors for Christ. We are not defined by our own perception or the opinions of others but by God’s truth. As ambassadors, we are called to represent Him, equipped by God, and strengthened through prayer and community.

This message on Luke 21:20-28 where Jesus foretells the destruction of Jerusalem is inspired by the words of Jeremiah where he prophesizes to the people about the coming destruction they are about to face because they are not listening to God.
