    A sermon focusing on the elder son in the prodigal son parable.

    “Two Lost Sons” Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32 This is probably one of the best known parables of Jesus in the Bible.

What do you suppose the most misplaced item is? No, not phones or keys. It’s the TV remote. Apparently more than 70% of us ...read more
