     | 10,314 views

    This message speaks of the son of interest to Jesus in his most well-known story - not on the prodigal who left home, but the prodigal who stayed home. Of particular interest is the difference in this son's response and the Fathers to the other.

     | 6,136 views

    This good Friday message speaks of the abandonment that Jesus expresses when God turns away from him. But it is loneliness that has meaning and purpose -- our salvation.

    Hearing The Loneliness Of The Cross Matthew 27:45-46 Usually, we have the cross posted at the top. Today, we have it right up front, some place that it can not be overlooked.
