Here are some highlights from the message. If you share any of these on your social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) please use this link as a reference: http://ow.ly/x0Ya7

• When the Pharisees grumbled at Jesus saying "This man receives sinners and eats with them", they did not realize they were proclaiming the gospel. 
• The Father waits for the rebellious to lay down their rule breaking and runs to meet them where they are.
• The Father pursues the religious and invites them to lay down their rule keeping and come home as they are. 
• Both the path of religion and rebellion are ways of saying "I don't need you, God, but I want your stuff". 
• Jesus obeyed flawlessly and died willingly as the sacrifice needed to bring us home.

Jesus In My Place - Matt Papa

VERSE 1
On my worst of days, what can wash away my sin?
When I fall again and I hear “condemned,” on this I’ll stand

PRECHORUS
Living the life I could not live, Dying the death that I deserved

CHORUS 1
Jesus in my place Jesus in my place
This is hope, this is grace, Jesus in my place

VERSE 2
On my best of days, what can wash away my pride?
When my greatest deeds fail to make me clean, in this I’ll trust

VERSE 3
On that final day, when I stand and face my God
Bold and confident, I will say Lord this is all I have
Living the life I could not live, Dying the death that I deserved
Bearing my sin to pay the price, Rising again to give me life!

CHORUS 2
Mercy on display powerful to save
This is life, this is faith, Jesus in my place
This is hope, this is grace, Jesus in my place
This is hope, this is grace, Jesus in my place
