Topic: Judgment

Confronted By Upside Down

There are two sons in the parable of the Prodigal Son, and in this passage we find out how the older son responds when the younger son returns home.

"Thank you for this ministry! It has transformed my life in some really radical ways. God has broken down so many barriers and exposed so many lies that have taken some serious burdens from my heart. It has given me hope, freedom and purpose I never could have imagined possible."
