Our series is Simple Thoughts. In it, we will be exploring a few of the simple thoughts I have had over these last few months. The third of these is “What Matters” and looks at what we should value in life. Should our pursuit be for monetary gain? Is being wealthy a sin? Or is it something more? What kind of treasure should we really be seeking after? These are some simple thoughts in complex times.
Our scripture reading for today comes from Proverbs 22:1-9; 1 Timothy 6:3-10; Matthew 6:19-24.
For Father’s Day, our message is “The Prodigal Father.” We may know that story of the Prodigal Son, but how often do we really think about the father in the parable? What examples does he give us of being a good father? About being a good person? What can we learn about the example we set for others? We explore this and more.
Today’s reading is from Luke 15:11-32 CEB.
