The last sermon of the sermon series, ‘Startling Stories’, we go back a bit in Luke to the parable of the prodigal son. This story is another of Jesus’ parables of the Kingdom of God. Ken Noakes talks on what it is to be separated from God from two perspectives displayed in this parable, and ends with a challenge. Do we fall under either of these perspectives and what do we do about it?
