About this message

When it comes to the Christian faith, we often think it’s all about us finding God. But Jesus tells a much different story. In Luke 15, He shows that faith doesn’t start with our pursuit of Him—it's all about His pursuit of us. God isn’t standing at a distance, waiting for us to get it together. He’s the Shepherd who leaves the 99 to chase after the one. He’s the woman who turns her house upside down to find her lost coin. He’s the Father who runs, not with judgment, but with surprising joy to embrace His lost child.

Join special speaker Joshua Ryan Butler as he walks us through Luke 15 and reminds us: God’s love is joyful, relentless, and personal. He delights to meet you right where you are—not to scold you, but to lift you onto His shoulders and throw a party when you come home.
