“ Great Sermon! ” Ricky said that we think true faith is not sinning - but he went on to say that true faith is what we do after we sin. Peter and Judas both denied Christ but Peter came back because Jesus prayed for him. Ricky keeps pushing us to Jesus and challenging us to trust Him and His love for us. He closed with something I never get tired of hearing - that Jesus always welcomes us back home and eventually we come to love Him and being home with Him so much that we don't run away - or at least not as easily. This sermon reminded me of John Newton - he said (not an exact quote)- I was ashamed when Christ found me, I am more ashamed now, and I expect I will be most ashamed when He comes for me, but I rejoice in this - that He is not ashamed of me.
