From Orphan to Heir | Drew Worsham
While we were once slaves to our sin, Jesus came to make a way for us to live as sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father — so why do we still act like orphans? This week, guest speaker Drew Worsham walks us through the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15 to remind us that we're not defined by our rebellion, but by our reconciliation to the Father.

Signs of Life | Kylen Perry
The point of a Christian life is to know God and live for Him — how can we tell if we're actually doing this, though? As Kylen Perry reminds us through Colossians 1 - where Paul is reminding the believers in Colossae - when we walk with the Lord, our very identity changes and we should show some signs of new life.
