Sermon: Lamb and Lion (John Telgren)

(Ex 3:1-6; Hos 11:1-11; Isa 6:1-8) We need to avoid caricatures of God that emphasize his love and compassion to the exclusion of his righteousness and holiness. Otherwise, it will cause us, in serving something of our own making, to twist the idea of purity and holiness, and to cheapen the idea of grace and mercy, which will in turn affect our mission in such a way that we do not come to terms with the fact that people are lost without Christ.
