In this episode, we dive into one of Jesus’ most beloved parables—the story of the Prodigal Son. It’s a tale of rebellion, repentance, and the radical grace of a waiting father. We’ll explore what this story tells us about God’s heart for the lost and the older brother’s struggle with grace. Whether you feel far from home or close but bitter, this parable has a word for you.

In this story, Jesus encounters a woman who anoints his feet with alabaster ointment and wipes his feet with her hair. This woman demonstrates how people who are forgiven of much tend to love more.

In Matthew 18, we encounter one of Jesus's most difficult commands and teachings. Jesus tells us that we must forgive others as God has forgiven us. This is a tall order for us! In this reading, Jesus tells an extraordinary parable about an unforgiving servant.

In Luke 15, we get a true picture of the heart of God. More than any other passage in the Bible, we see what God truly cares about. God wants all to be saved. Each individual is of infinite importance to God. In this reading, Jesus tells two parables, "The Lost Sheep" and "The Lost Coin," to illustrate this point.

One of the great questions of the Old Testament is, "Who can enter the Lord's presence?" In this Psalm, David takes up this question and gives us some great teaching and insight.

In today’s podcast we look at Matthew’s account of the resurrection of Jesus. Mary Magdalene and the other Mary go to the tomb on Sunday and find that Jesus has been raised.

In Romans 6, Paul explains how the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus make sense of baptism. Our broken story of sin and alienation is transformed into the story of Jesus's victory over death by the resurrection. Baptism unites us to Christ, and in Him we receive resurrection life.

In 1 Corinthians 15, we are introduced to the oldest segment of our New Testament. Paul is delivering to the Corinthian brethren a very old creedal statement that probably dates back to 39 AD or even earlier. This is significant because Christ was probably crucified in 33 AD. Some scholars think this statement found in 1 Corinthians 15 dates back to within two years of Jesus's crucifixion.

In John 21 we witness Jesus's third post resurrection apprearance to the disciples. In this fascinating story we will see Peter receiving forgiveness and a new commision while around a charcoal fire. Listen to hear about the significance of that charcoal fire.

In this Psalm, David laments Israel's massive moral decline. It seems that no one is righteous in their actions. He laments how some are taken advantage of and are mistreated. David has confidence that God will be their refuge and that God will set things right.
