Week 6 - Return Home | Return | Aaron Pennington - Lead Pastor

No matter where you’ve been, what you’ve done, or how far you feel from God, there is a way home. In Week 6 of Return, Pastor Aaron Pennington teaches from Jesus’ story of the prodigal son in Luke 15. The son believed he was no longer worthy to come home, but while he was still a long way off, his father saw him, ran to him, embraced him, and welcomed him home. That same invitation is available to us through Jesus. God’s grace is not something we earn. Through Christ, our sin can be forgiven, our debt has been paid, and we can return home to our Heavenly Father. This Sunday also marks 10 years of Trace Church, as we celebrate God’s faithfulness, baptisms, changed lives, and the beginning of our next chapter through the Return discipleship initiative.
