Pastor Bryan Wolfmueller, a theological author and leader at St. Paul Lutheran in Austin, dives deep into the Parable of the Prodigal Son. He explores the three slaveries: hedonism, despair, and pride that entrap individuals. The discussion highlights the difference between despair and true repentance, emphasizing how the gospel acts as a remedy. Wolfmueller also contrasts the law versus the gospel and describes how God's grace liberates from sin and pride, ultimately revealing the heart of the Father towards His children.

In this discussion, Will Weedon, an assistant pastor and host of a daily Bible study, delves into the threefold office of Christ as prophet, priest, and king.

Will highlights the continuity of prophetic work through apostles, critiques extra-scriptural revelations, and illustrates the transformative power of Christ's words in guiding believers. A fascinating look at Christ's multifaceted role!
