Angels rejoice over sinners who repent. A once heartbroken father threw a party for his prodigal son. True repentance is \"coming home\" to find joy in God. Why do so many people today view it as a burden?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003ePastor Chris Brauns explains that deep, abiding gladness comes when we grieve sin and turn toward Jesus.
