Bible Passage: Luke 15:1-3, 11-32
Sermon Series: Summer Stories
About This Series: In this first message in “Summer Stories”, our series on Jesus’ parables, we look at what’s possibly his most famous story, popularly known as The Prodigal Son. It forces us to ask whether we think our relationship with God—and each other—depends on love, or on following the rules.

Bible Passage: Nehemiah 13
Sermon Series: Now What? No Seriously...What Now?
About This Series: Not everything ends with happily ever after. At the end of our preaching series on Nehemiah, we see the people slipping back into old patterns of faithlessness, and Nehemiah’s response. We’re not promised that everything we do will end well. But we can take comfort in the knowledge that the work is finally God’s, not our own—and God is faithful.
