Sermon: The Radical Welcome. Bay Shore Church Sunday Worship Service. August 31, 2025

This Sunday, August 31, in Worship "The Radical Welcome" Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32 Few stories capture the heart of grace like the Prodigal Son. It’s a tale of rebellion, regret, and a father’s love that refuses to let go. This sermon challenges us to extend the same radical welcome to others—especially to those we find hardest to embrace. How can we be agents of God’s extravagant grace in a judgmental world? New Sermon Series: "Stories of Radical Grace" In Luke’s gospel, Jesus tells stories that break down barriers and invite us into the radical, world-changing grace of God. From the dusty roads of Galilee to the homes of sinners, Jesus reveals a kingdom where the last are first, the lost are found, and love transforms everything. This series invites you to explore these timeless stories and live into the radical grace that Jesus offers.
