IT’S NOT SCIENTISTS OR SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATIONS THAT WE MUST ...read more

    NR 17-03-07 ES Lk 15:1-3 and 11-32 If we really want to understand the Parable of the Prodigal Son, we need to look at the context of the story. Why did Jesus tell the story?

They believe that when they accepted Christ as their personal Savior, God attached an extension on to their life that began say in 1956 as mine did. ...read more

Have you ever been waiting expectantly for an event, only for the event itself to come as a total surprise or even a big ...read more
