A sermon I’ve never forgotten

FIRST15
About this episode

One of the most famous stories in the Bible is Jesus’ parable of the prodigal son. And though most of us have heard the story many times, I believe that God has new truths waiting for us each time we connect with him in Scripture. Allow God to speak to your heart and your mind today as we explore this incredible story together.

Our Scripture for today comes from Luke 15:20, and today's worship is Ring & Robe by Dante Bowe, feat. Naomi Raine

--

Being intentional about what we do with our time is a wonderful way to honor God as we begin this new year.

 

Our book Living Intentionally: Finding Meaning with a Modern Rule of Life, unpacks what a Rule of Life is and can help you identify ways you can develop your own. This book will help you review key areas of your life and help you discover the best ways to bring order to them, including:

 

  • your spirituality
  • your relationships
  • your work
  • your time
  • your wiring

 

Request a copy of Living Intentionally — and make this the year you honor God by building more meaning and purpose into your life.
