As we near the end of our week looking at Jesus’ parable of the prodigal son, we’re going to look today the restoration of authority the father gave to the son. And we’re going to create space today to look at what it means be granted the authority of the Father in our own lives. May we be positioned to work with God in bringing his powerful love to earth all around us as the result of our time in his presence today.

Our Scripture for today comes from Matthew 16:19, and today's worship is Refresh Me by Leeland.
