This sermon tackles a sensitive, sometimes scary question: does God punish? If so, when and how?

Some of us have experienced churches where God seems to be consumed with punishing. Others of us have experienced churches where happy-talk prevails and God is exclusively about positive affirmation. Where does the truth lie?

Today’s scripture: Joel 1:1-7, 15-16
