Our Father in Heaven

The Sunday after Easter

Beginning this Sunday, and continuing through the next seven weeks, Pastor Kevin will lead us in a focus on The Lord’s Prayer. This week he will discuss the opening to the Lord’s Prayer, “Our Father in Heaven”. The sermon text this Sunday is from Luke 15:11-24, the parable of the prodigal son. It illustrates the boundless love and forgiveness of God toward those who repent.
