The Mature Christian In The Way With Charles St-Onge podcast

14:38

The parable of the prodigal son is really about three people: the younger brother, yes, but also the older brother and the father. The character of the brothers reveals how sin works in our lives; the character of the father reveals the extents to which the Lord will go to reconcile us to him and to each other.

What enabled them to show such patience? What can we learn from them about faith in the Lord's promises? Support the show Check us out at ascensionlutheran.ca and intheway.org .…

Christ is the Light 10:23

All of the best fantasy fiction books move from light to darkness to light again. Star Wars contrasts the light side of the force with the dark shades of the Death Star and Darth Vader. The Lord of the Rings contrasts the lightness of the world of men with the darkness of Mordor, the domain of Sauron and his legions of Orcs. In the Harry Potter series, school headmaster Albus Dumbledore speaks these words right before some very trying times: “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” ("The Prisoner of Azkaban"). Because where there is Christ, there is light, and where there is light, there is life. Support the show Check us out at ascensionlutheran.ca and intheway.org .…
