Divine imagination, 2.23.2025

Sara Olson-Smith preaches on mercy. God forgives us and welcomes up back over and over again, not just for our sake, but so that this mercy will trickle down through our lives and through the ways we live in the world. When we are at our worst, when we have really messed up, God sees us for who we really are and who we could become. Mercy is an act of divine imagination. It dares to imagine that we are more than we are right now and the only thing that can bring about this transformation in us is love.  

Preaching text: Luke 6: 27-38
