This week we begin our new series, "Parables, Life Stories from Jesus. Jesus, the master teacher, understood used stories, called parables, to teach us how to live and to give us life.

The first of Jesus' stories we will consider is the parable entitled, "The Prodigal Son." This story is about

lostness, about awayness. But, it is also the story of a loving father.

Join us for this message as we consider what it teaches us about the heart of God and His love toward those far from Him.
