Faith Lutheran Church Oakville & Columbia
Story Time: The Prodigal God, Pastor Chris Sommer
Today we continue in our message series titled “Story Time,” where we are talking about some of the parables that Jesus told. And today we are talking about a parable that in some ways may be too familiar to you, the parable sometimes referred to as “The Lost Son” or “The Prodigal Son,” neither of which is a great name for this parable… and I can say that because God didn’t give it that title, editors did. So let’s talk about what a better name might be.

http://faithstl.org/prayer-request/WAYS TO GIVE
We believe God wants to position Faith to be a generous body of believers able to invest in missional ministry where we live, work, play and beyond; wherever God leads us to bless those who need the Gospel. Faith members and regular attenders are on a journey to discover what it means to move from being blessed to blessing others. We give with gratitude in response to God’s grace and sacrificial love in Jesus, who already has met our deepest needs. He works through the sacrifice and generosity of His people to meet the needs of others and to fuel the mission of His church to make disciples.
