    Jesus' Parable of the Prodigal Son teaches us how to treat others: with freemdom to make mistakes, with forgiveness in second chances, and with favor out of unconditional love. God is the perfect Father, showing us all three. (Father's Day message)

Since the real hero of the story is the father, I thought it might be a good story to look at today. Let’s consider some gifts ...read more
