Listen "A Turning Point"
Episode Synopsis
In this sermon, A Turning Point, Father Alan explores 1 Timothy 1:12–17 and Luke 15:1–10, where Paul calls himself the “foremost of sinners” and Jesus tells parables of the lost sheep and lost coin. Both passages point us to a God whose grace is greater than our sin, whose love is relentless, and whose joy erupts when the lost are found.From the humor of a runner dropping their keys into a portapotty, to the heavy grief and division following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, this message names the ways we feel lost and the ways our world writes people off.And yet, the gospel insists that no one is beyond the reach of God’s mercy.The good news is simple and sure: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. And that is a turning point for all of us.
