Week 1: God Loves The One

Church At The Bridge Sermon Podcasts

"God Loves the One," reflects on the balance between truth and love in ministry. In Luke 15:2, the Pharisees criticized Jesus for welcoming sinners. Jesus responded with parables, such as the lost sheep (Luke 15:3-6) and the lost coin (Luke 15:8-9), illustrating that everyone holds equal value in God's eyes and no one is a lost cause. Our impatience often blinds us to the gradual work God is doing (2 Peter 3:8-9). Like planting seeds, our role is to plant and water while trusting God to grow (1 Corinthians 3:6). The story of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:20) reminds us that restoration begins with seeking out those in need. We must meet people where they are, sharing God's love and truth, showing them their worth as determined by God.
