We start a journey with Simon this week, starting with his calling in Luke 5. Simon knew how to fish, he knew what it took and when to pursue fishing. At this time, he just finished fishing with no luck and loans his boat to a teacher to teach from. After he finished teaching, he […]
This Father’s Day, Richard dives into one of the images we see of God as Father in Luke 11. In a world where it was not common to address God on a personal basis as Father, they had to go to the temple and have someone intervene for them, Jesus taught them to pray to […]
Nathanael brings this week’s message from Luke 9:51-62. Here we see the disciples preparing to go to Samaria with Jesus, and they are rejected and it seems they look for their own flavor of Justice. Following this interaction, we see an interaction of three men with Jesus and a few (what seem harsh) responses from […]
This week Richard presents the message as Peter and tells the story of the crucifixion through his renewal, and partly into Acts. We talk about his denial of Christ, his renewal, and what God was able to do through Peter despite his past. If God can work through all of that, imagine what He can […]

This week Richard takes a look at one of the most popular parables, The Parable of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15. As we look into this parable we see the kingdom truth that God loves His children. All of them.
