The Prodigal Father 46:58

2M ago46:58

46:58

The Prodigal Son story usually focuses on the bad and wayward behaviour of one of the sons, and then ends with the angry older brother having a fit outside the party. However, the story has nothing to do with forgiveness, repentance or any other ‘guilt trip’ motive that has been spun into the story. The parable is about the ‘Loving Father’, the ‘Pr…

Jesus has now ascended, the disciples are afraid and hiding. They are in for the shock of their lives, very much sensory overload.

8M ago30:31

30:31

Have you ever been disappointed? Of course you have. However, the word ‘disappointed’ comes from ‘failed expectations’. Where you put your faith can have some similarities.
