    If you’ve ever been traveling for a long time, one of the first things we say when we get home is “it’s good to be home!” The same is true about our spiritual home on earth, the church. By studying the story of the lost boy, we can see why “it’s good to be home!”

    As we enter a New Year, we never know what things will be like during the next 365 days.

    God has a purpose in us not knowing the future. God the Father wants us to daily spend time in prayer talking to Him, but if we knew everything, we would not need to seek Him daily for guidance. But many during this NEW YEAR would like to know what this New Year is going to hold for them. ...read more
