The Lost Sheep

Luke 15:1-7 It may not be flattering to think of ourselves as sheep – they may be cute as lambs, but they’re often stupid and tend to wander. Just like us.

One Narrow Door

Luke 13:22-30 Have you ever found yourself lost without map? The natural thing to do is call someone who has access to one.

Dr. Philip Ryken teaches about the narrow door on Every Last Word.
