The Prodigal

Pastor Ken is currently preaching a four-part series called "Of Kings and Kingdoms" at Crosspoint on the grand meta-narrative found in Scripture. It's been great so far! I encourage you to listen to them here.

At the end of his sermon on Sunday, we showed the video seen below. After hearing a sermon on the Fall and the destruction caused by sin, this video was such a great reminder of God's grace. Take 3 minutes out of your day to watch it, I think it will really encourage you.



You held out Your arms, I walked away
Insolent, I spurned Your face
Squandering the gifts You gave to me
Holding close forbidden things
Destitute, a rebel still, a fool in all my pride
The world I once enjoyed is death to me
No joy, no hope, no life

Where now are the friends that I had bought
Gone with every penny lost
What hope could there be for such as I
Sold out to a world of lies
Oh, to see Your face again, it seems so distant now
Could it be that You would take me back
A servant in Your house

You held out Your arms, I see them still
You never left, You never will
Running to embrace me, now I know
Your cords of love will always hold
Mercy’s robe, a ring of grace
Such favor undeserved
You sing over me and celebrate
The rebel now Your child
