Redeemed in Full

October 27, 2021June 1, 2022 Megan Bean

Prodigal

May 8, 2020June 2, 2022 Megan Bean

Prodigals – human as well as animal – don’t always look the way we expect. They might not strike us as bitter, rebellious, or unstable. Their inner struggles don’t always show in their attitude or actions.

Yet they still wander. They still need restoration.

And, whatever their driftings, God is more than willing to give it.

Yet He chose to give it up. Because it was the only way to truly bring us and the entire creation "home".

March 3, 2018June 1, 2022 Megan Bean

The growth, dormancy, and regrowth of these beautiful plants remind me of three key aspects of the Christian faith.
