Episode notes
Pastor Ryan emphasizes the importance of having a deep, ongoing relationship with God rather than merely settling for brief interactions on Sundays. He illustrates this by discussing Jesus' calling of Levi, a tax collector, highlighting that grace invites the unworthy and the unable to rise and follow Him. Through Jesus dining with sinners, Pastor Ryan calls for the church to embrace a diverse community rather than isolating itself in self-righteousness. Ultimately, he urges us to surrender our lives to God's lordship, recognizing that true joy comes from following Him wholeheartedly.
