What To Do If You Are Losing Hope!

Are you running low on hope for someone in your life, or for yourself? In his final sermon at Compass, Dr. Mike Ladra looks at the opening verses of Matthew’s Gospel and shows how Jesus’s family tree, filled with scandalous, outsider grandmothers, preaches a message of hope: Jesus is in the salvage business. Through the story of Levi the tax collector becoming Matthew, “gift of God,” Dr. Ladra reminds us that no one is junk, that God creates something beautiful out of nothing, that becoming more like Jesus is the answer to so many of our problems, and that Jesus is the friend of even the worst sinner who repents.
