In this episode we are looking at 2 parables Jesus tells in Luke 15. These teachings were prompted by the Pharisee’s shock that Jesus would receive sinners. Through the story, Jesus challenges us to realize how much love and concern someone must have if they want to save a soul. But even deeper, we learn how God values a soul straying into darkness. What is my attitude toward those that are not saved? And how do I develop a heart of compassion that matches the Lords?

In this episode we continue in the book of Colossians, as we pick up in chapter 3 we will discuss what it means for the word of Christ to dwell inside of us. In order for that to happen, there are certain habits and attitudes I need to leave behind since I have put off the old man. Only once that has happened can Christ work in me to grow into the new creature that is renewed according to the image of my creator. Am I willing to allow this transformation to take place?
