In chapter 15 of the Gospel according to Luke, Jesus tells a story of two sons: one who kept the rules religiously and one who broke them all. He also tells of a father who loved both lost sons beyond anything they could imagine.
We invite you to join us as we explore this remarkable Bible passage, which carries a message that is neither religion nor irreligion -- but something else entirely.
Created by New York Times bestselling author Rev. Timothy Keller, senior pastor of Manhattan's Redeemer Presbyterian Church, this inspiring and thought-provoking study is being presented to the public cooperatively by the churches of Red Bank and the Monmouth shore .
The study will begin with a special presentation for the entire community on Friday, October 2 at 7:30 PM at the Red Bank Middle School. Attendance at this presentation is not required for participation in the weekly group study sessions, which will be held at multiple times and locations beginning the week of October 5 and continuing through the week of November 9.
The Prodigal God is open to the public and is free. Participants will be asked to contribute $10 to cover the cost of the text.
Whether you are a skeptic or a believer -- or somewhere in between -- this six-week study offers you a unique opportunity to re-assess the core message of Christianity and to help bring our entire community closer together.
