This is an audio rip from a video I recorded for the summer staff at Crosstrails ministry in Southwest Texas Synod of the ELCA on Luke 15. Yes, the whole chapter. No, it isn't super long, just 10 minutes. Not an in-depth bible study, but a devotional to guide us in our daily lives as followers of the way.

Have a listen and maybe see this chapter of the Lost Sheep, the Lost Coin, and the Prodigal Son in a new light...

I ramble about the quote from John Alan Turner,  "It's hard to convince people that a God they can't see loves them, when a church they can see doesn't like them." And I ramble about the statement, "God loves you as you are, but God loves you too much to leave you that way." And about friends who can't worship because the "church" won't accept them.
