For the one who sins - Tim Cooling - 18th January 2026

Apologies - There was a slight problem with our recording this week resulting in poor sound quality for about a minute, four minutes in. Stick with it, it clears up soon enough 👍.   Speaking at our baptism service, Tim looks at the parable of the lost sheep from Luke 15.   The stage is set with both “sinners” and religious leaders. Who is Jesus sitting with? We are told that ‘this man welcomes sinners, and eats with them,’ which angers the religious leaders of the day.    Tim shows us that to gather around Jesus we need to embrace:   Radical honesty about who we are.    A radical welcome that we can be loved as we are.   Radical dependency, that we can’t do this in our own strength.   We hope you are blessed by this message.
