Read More Jesus Is … The Prince of PeaceWhether you know the story of the prodigal son or not – and I’m glad that there are other perspectives that suggest it’s probably more the story of the prodigal father – it is a gift to be able to express the word in a way that embeds itself in your heart.

Read More The Prodigal Son Suite – Keith GreenIt baffles me why I haven’t done this sooner. What is up with me? What is going on? This song has opened the doors to the power of confession more than any sermon or bible study. Yeah a big statement I know and it’s not a slight against bible study or sermons, it’s just a […]
