A Love So Strong
For our last week in our series on Parables, we're looking at one of the more recognizable Bible stories, The Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32).

To God Be the Glory
This week, we're continuing in Parables and looking at "The Mustard Seed." (Mark 4:30-32). What's obvious about this parable is how the mustard seed starts small and can grow into something massive. What's not so obvious is our ability to believe that those little seeds are actually happening.August 17, 2025 | Mark 4:30-32 | Chris Ward

57
Go and Do Likewise?
This week we are looking at the parable of The Good Samaritan. It is one of Jesus' most well-known parables. We have probably heard the story many times - a man is beaten and left to die, but is saved by the most unlikely person passing by. The story may be very familiar, but what if with all its familiarity we've missed Jesus' point? Come this week and listen with fresh ears to the parable of The Good Samaritan. August 10 | Chris Ward
