The Prodigal God
We've heard of the "prodigal" son—but what about the "prodigal" God?

Timothy Keller's book, The Prodigal God, looks at both brothers in Jesus' parable (Luke 15)—and how each misunderstood the prodigal nature of their father. The rebellious younger brother missed his father's heart—but ironically, so did the self-righteous older brother. Do we know our Father's heart? Our new series of messages will help us grow our hearts, minds, and souls.

06-26-11 Two Kinds of Lost There are two ways to drift from God—one rebellious, the other religious.
07-03-11 Running Away... No matter how defiant the rebel, he cannot escape the Father's love.
07-10-11 Slaving For... When a religious person relies on his good works, he risks missing the Father's love.
07-17-11 Returning To... One came repentant; the other came offended—but both were surprised at the Father's response.

John Burmeister's testimony (15 minutes)

Disciples...Followers of Jesus
