If you’ve been to Missio for a bit, you’ve probably sung a worship song with the lyric about the “reckless love of God.” That turn of phrase – “reckless love” –– represents a common way of describing God’s love and beautifully captures the way God pursues us and loves us at cost to himself. But, it also poses a question: can God be “reckless?” The word “reckless” implies a risk, maybe even uncertainty but Christians believe God knows everything so can anything God does be “reckless”? So how should we understand the love of God? How does God work in the world? And what does it mean for us?
In our June sermon series (including Pentecost and Trinity Sunday) we are exploring how the God who knows all and can do all, chooses to work in partnership and mutuality––coming alongside us in truly relational ways. Throughout June we will explore the work of the Spirit on Pentecost Sunday, we’ll look at the very nature of God on Trinity Sunday, the power of God in Christ, and the love of God in the cross.
