Hello, Friends Christianity was birthed directly out of Judaism. The first believers considered themselves still within Judaism while following the Way of Jesus. As this perspective changed historically, the Church became increasingly Hellenistic and lost touch with the Hebraic origin of our faith. This departure from the true foundation of Christianity has led to many misunderstandings including the parable traditionally called “The Prodigal Son”. This message attempts to place the parable in its proper context while challenging the listener to take aggressive action in their daily lives. Shalom, The LCMF Staff
