The story of the Prodigal Son illustrates how we want our way and the things of the Father, rather than seeking the heart of the Father. Pastor Steve encourages us to change our focus and find the abundant life Christ offers in relationship with Him.

Everyone longs for home and Christ seeks us to bring us home to a relationship with himself.

Pastor Steve Stratos ends the book of James with encouragement to confess our sins to those we have offended and restore those who have drifted away from the faith.

Pastor Steve Stratos and his friend and colleague Bruce Boria talk about grief after the death of Bruce's son. Bruce describes the hope in Jeremiah 29:1-13 that comes after the hardships and losses in life.

Pastor Steve Stratos encourages us to trust God and have joy during difficult situations, like Paul and Silas in Acts 16, because he uses them in our lives to make us more like Jesus.

Steve compares religion versus Jesus. Religion sees God as useful, but the gospel sees God as beautiful. See the beauty in Jesus and let the gospel bring peace, joy, healing and life, now and forever.
