The Prodigal Son

This Sunday at SHF we will look at a parable that has been called "a flawless piece of art" and "the finest short story in literature." This parable even inspired the masterpiece painting (seen above) by the famous artist Rembrandt. But, even more importantly, the parable of the "Prodigal Son" contains the most astonishing message of sheer mercy and forgiveness to be found in any of the parables of Jesus Christ. I can hardly wait to preach it!

Repent Or You Will Perish!

What does the title of this post make you think of? An angry white haired Bible-thumping preacher with a scowl upon his face as he slams his fist on the pulpit? Or maybe a tie-dyed street preacher with long hair holding a cardboard sign with these words written on it? Perhaps an uptight and obnoxiously clean cut Bible college student who seems to know a lot more about "original languages" than he does about loving his neighbors?

All good guesses, but not who I'm thinking about! This Sunday we will take at look at the famous guy in Scripture who really said this, and we'll consider what he meant by it.

Want a hint? Luke 13:1-5.
