Bring Him Back

This message shows our spiritual frailty, but also gives us a goal to help restore the backslider, showing that God is willing to save all who turn to Him in faith 19 My brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone brings him back, James 5:19 English Standard Version (ESV)

Let Them Come

This message shows that Jesus hears everyone, but in fact responds in different ways. He is willing to receive those who come humbly, but will allow some to turn away and others will oppose, because they refuse to humble themselves.
