Wasted Proximity

Josh Kelsey
About this episode

Grace is a gift — God's closeness to us is pure grace. But as the parable of the Prodigal Son reveals, we can miss the fullness of it. In the parable, Jesus shows how both sons waste the grace of their father's love, whether through rebellion or resentment. As we begin our new series, Wasted Grace, Pastor Luis Guerrero reminds us that our identity as His children remains unchanged, and we serve a God who longs to be close to us.
