Below is a video of this 19-minute message about God’s persistence in offering salvation to each one of us.

Throughout the scriptures, God is reaching out to humanity with the offer of salvation. Isaiah 55 is filled with words of invitation from God. Joshua 5 links the liberation of the Israelites from slavery with the first Passover meal in the promised land. 2 Corinthians 5 has Paul telling us, that if anyone is in Christ, that person is a new creation – the old has gone, the new is here! And Luke 15 tells the remarkable story of the prodigal son – or perhaps it is the story of the forgiving father, who welcomes back his wayward son. The father runs down the road to embrace him and celebrate his return. The prodigal son is saved, thanks to the generosity of his father.

Today’s readings are:

• Isaiah 55
• Joshua 5:9-12
• 2 Corinthians 5:16-21
• Luke 15:1-3 & 11-32
