Fall Sermon Series: “A Story of Homecoming”

This sermon series, based on the parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32), invites us to explore forgiveness, grace, and unconditional love. Each week, we will focus on the younger son, the elder son, and the father as we delve into the journey from lostness to belonging. In addition to the sermons, we will have a Bible study using Henri Nouwen’s The Return of the Prodigal Son: A Story of Homecoming. We invite you to join us this fall as we discover the transformative power of returning home and the boundless love that welcomes us back.
