🌾✝️ SERMONS FROM THE HOMESTEAD ✝️🌾

THE GOD OF SECOND CHANCES

No matter how far you’ve wandered…
No matter how many mistakes you’ve made…
No matter how many bridges you’ve burned…

God’s grace is greater.

The same God who welcomed the Prodigal Son home…
The same God who restored Peter after his denial…
The same God who transformed Paul from persecutor to preacher…

Is still changing lives today.

Your story isn’t over.

Your failure isn’t final.

Your addiction isn’t stronger than God’s grace.

Your past doesn’t determine your future.

Because our God is a God of second chances, third chances, and more mercy than we can comprehend.

At Redemption Works at The Found, we see this every day. Men and women overcoming addiction. People rebuilding after incarceration. Individuals finding hope after homelessness. Families being restored.

The mission field isn’t always overseas.

Sometimes it’s right in our own backyard.

If you or someone you know needs recovery housing, sober living, reentry assistance, accountability, or simply a fresh start, reach out.

There is hope.

There is healing.

There is redemption.

And there is a God who never gives up on His children.

📖 “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning…” — Lamentations 3:22-23

U.S. homelessness rose 27% since 2013 to 745,652 people as of January 2025, according to HUD, which is using the data to justify $10.7 billion in proposed cuts to housing assistance programs it says have failed.

CALIFORNIA: The state is intensifying efforts to remove RVs and oversized vehicles used as homes by many of the state’s homeless residents, The New York Times reported May 24. An estimated 34,000 people in California sleep in their vehicles nightly, with some advocates saying the actual number may be twice as high.

A new law in Los Angeles and Alameda counties allows authorities to swiftly demolish vehicles worth up to $4,000 if owners cannot move them without towing assistance, increasing the previous limit of $500.

Councilwoman Traci Park of Los Angeles’ 11th District has led towing sweeps targeting large encampments of RVs, which she describes as public health and safety hazards due to crime and unsanitary conditions. Some local businesses and residents support the removals and even hire private security to push RV dwellers off the streets, even when vehicles are legally parked.

Advocates and researchers argue the measures make life harder for those forced into vehicle residency amid California’s ongoing homelessness crisis.
