Reality Check | Andres "Dre" Carias
Manage episode 438589749 series 3026439
In the Parable of the Lost Son we are introduced to two brothers who are both lost in different ways. This message focuses on the older brother; the one who was frustrated and annoyed with everyone else celebrating the return of the younger brother.

(Dallas Willard, Renovation of the Heart)
