You are not invisible. Before you ever searched for God, He was already searching for you. This sermon walks through the story of the prodigal son and the promise that Jesus "came to seek and save that which was lost," revealing a God who sees you fully and pursues you in love — not because you've earned it, but because grace invites trust, not performance.
What You'll Learn:
- Why feeling unseen by people doesn't mean you're unseen by God;
- How God knows you at a level deeper than anyone in your life — your thoughts, your wounds, your hidden exhaustion;
- The difference between a God who "sees" and a God who "seeks" — and why both matter;
- Why salvation is received, not achieved, and what that means for your daily walk;
- How to tell the difference between religious performance and real relationship with Jesus;
- Why grace is the cause of repentance, not the reward for it;
- What it looks like to finally stop trying to "clean yourself up" before coming to God.
