Sermon: The Judgment Boomerang
The wrath of God is a misunderstood topic. In this sermon, Greg shows how sin has natural consequences that boomerang back to us.

In the clip, Greg talks about the mistaken picture of God that allows for the fear of God, but does not make it possible to really love God.
