METHU 9:13

In this three-day Bible reading plan based on Luke chapter 15, pastor Mondy Cano shows us how the relentless love of God goes out for the obvious sinner, as for the well behaved. It is a moment in history when Jesus uses three stories of lost things and people, to forever redefine us, God, sin, and salvation. We will discover the sweet surprise that God is beyond our human expectations.

Matthew, the former tax collector turned devoted disciple, and James the Less, the brother of Matthew, are both chosen as apostles by Jesus Christ. Matthew's story reminds us that no one is beyond the reach of Christ's transformative grace. His swift response to Jesus' call is an inspiration for us to follow Christ immediately when He calls us to a higher purpose.

Many people are smiling, but hurting inside. I have discovered that God is doing something in everyone's life, and he's doing something in mine too! I'm loving/praying for strangers like never before. And they are grateful. These personal stories in my life are to help you help others move one step closer to God.

The late Brennan Manning wrote his classic The Ragamuffin Gospel for the “bedraggled, beat-up, and burnt-out,” for “anyone who has grown weary and discouraged along the Way.” If that includes you, take a journey toward the grace-filled life with these five daily devotionals.
