What Would Jesus Say to the Island of Misfit Toys (136)

December 06, 2022

It’s the start of the Christmas season, and I thought it would be fun to start with the Christmas series that I preached in 2014 and incorporate them with today’s episode. Jesus has always had a soft spot for misfits, and he often uses these individuals to bring about global peace.


Those who seem to have it all together don't have time for the messy beauty that is the life of God's Spirit. Those who are aware of their own flaws are the imperfect, the weak, those who have difficulty fitting in, and those who never manage to get anything right. God isn't looking for sinless disciples, but rather humble ones.


Tune in now, and let’s go bigger, better, and deeper!
