Hello Kingdom Family,
Welcome to our Jesus-centered community. We are glad you are listening to today’s message.
“We are People Helping People Experience a Jesus-centered Life.”
Today, we conclude our new message series, “The Prodigal God: Recovering the Heart of the Christian Faith,” by showing “The Prodigal God” mini-movie. This mini-movie is message VI of VI and is a masterpiece dramatization of the entire message series. Dr. Keller unpacks Luke 15:11-32 (NIV), the most popular of the three parables in Luke 15, which included the first two parables, The Parable of the Lost Sheep and The Parable of the Lost Coin. This message should shock and move every person engaging in the scripture and teaching.
