Morning Sermon

by Jeric Montealto | June 29, 2025 11:59 PM

This morning Pastor Jeff was preaching about the Prodigal Son parable you can find in Luke 15:11-32.

Pastor Jeff talked about the father’s point of view, the way he was waiting for his son to come back home. That it’s the same way that God is waiting for us with open arms, no matter what we did, because He does not care about our past but our future.

Morning Sermon
