“Known Completely, Loved Completely” - 5pm The River Service

Jun 7, 2026  •  Rev. Charlie Holt

This sermon explores God’s deep desire not merely for religious performance, but for people to truly know Him and love Him, drawing on both the prophet Hosea and Jesus’ ministry to sinners, outcasts, and the broken . Through the stories of Matthew the tax collector, the synagogue ruler, and the woman with the hemorrhage, the message shows that Jesus sees, knows, and lovingly calls people regardless of their shame, status, or circumstances. It contrasts authentic faith with the Pharisees’ performative religion, describing their influence as a “morning fog” that obscures God’s heart but quickly disappears in the light of Christ. Ultimately, the sermon invites listeners to move beyond fear, pride, and public opinion and respond to the God who already knows them completely and loves them unconditionally.
