The God Who Left Home

 
What did Jesus Christ accomplish through His death and resurrection? And how do faith and repentance fit into that finished work?
Scripture proclaims the astonishing magnitude of Christ’s victory while also calling us to repent and believe.
Christ is our Savior-not our faith, repentance, or obedience.

What is God really like? Is He the God we’ve come to know through religious traditions, or is He far greater than we’ve imagined?
In this episode of The God Who Left Home, we explore the character of God revealed in Jesus Christ, His compassion for the brokenhearted, and the astonishing greatness of His redemption

Christians struggle with suffering, doubt, and brokenness just like everyone else. The Church is where broken sinners come to hear the Good News of what Jesus Christ has accomplished for them. We need the Gospel again and again, not more demands or formulas. Christ is our Savior, not our performance!
 

What if brokenness—not certainty—is exactly where Christ meets us?
The disciples stood before the risen Jesus, and some still doubted. The lost sheep was broken. The prodigal was broken. The paralytic was broken. The thief on the cross was broken.
Our faith doesn’t belong in the winner’s circle. Christ does.
“The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18
 

Have we confused the God revealed in Jesus Christ with the god our religious traditions have constructed? In this episode, we look at Jesus—touching lepers, eating with sinners, forgiving the broken, loving His enemies, and seeking the lost—and ask a question we may be afraid to ask: Have we thought God was just like us

Adam’s disobedience brought ruin to us all. But what did Christ’s obedience accomplish? If we have no trouble believing what Adam did affected everyone, why do we struggle with what Christ did? Maybe we have underestimated the Last Adam.
