Roadblocks on the Journey

In this powerful message, we're reminded that grace is at the heart of our faith journey, but we must also confront the reality of sin in our lives. The central theme revolves around Romans 3:23, 'for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.' We explore the concept of 'roadblocks to grace' – those things that hinder our relationship with God, others, and ourselves. These roadblocks can take many forms, from idolatry and pride to gossip and addiction. Yet, the good news is that through Christ, we can overcome all obstacles. The message draws a beautiful parallel to the parables of the lost sheep, lost coin, and prodigal son, reminding us that God's love and grace are always seeking us out, no matter how far we've strayed. This teaching challenges us to examine our own lives, identify our personal roadblocks, and lean into the transformative power of God's grace. It's a call to daily take up our cross and follow Jesus, living in the shadow of His love and forgiveness.
