Series: The Gospel of LukeMessage: ReintegrationSpeaker: Justin SytsmaPassage: Luke 11:37 -12:12There is a tendency to think of Jesus only as “gentle Jesus, meek and mild”, but Justin points out in this passage that, like all of us, Jesus was a full, multi-dimensional human being. Though welcoming and inclusive, he also doesn’t pull his punches when necessary. But that doesn’t mean those he calls out are without hope.Episode 25-0045: © 2025 Kortright Presbyterian Church
