Isaiah 56:1, 6-8. Do you feel like an outsider or an insider? The actions of others can leave us feeling excluded. But to the crushed heart comes the good news: The Lord gathers outsiders. Parts: A. How welcomed he wants us to feel! B. How his acceptance changes us! Preached on September 7, 2014, for the Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost, at St. John's Ev. Lutheran Church (WELS), Hancock, MN.
