It restores us to the…
The Parables of Jesus – Week 2 When Love Came Running (Luke 15:1–7) In the parable of the lost sheep, Jesus shows us the relentless love of a Shepherd who refuses to give up on the lost.

Smart Moves – Week 7 The Smart Move of Wise Counsel (Proverbs 12:15; 1 Kings 12) Wise people understand they don't have to learn every lesson the hard way.

Smart Moves – Week 6 The Smart Move When You Are Wrong (Proverbs 9:7–12) No one enjoys being corrected, yet Proverbs reminds us that one of the clearest marks of wisdom is a teachable heart.
