    The Scandal of Grace: Conviction vs Shame

    Melhor citação de The Scandal of Grace: Conviction vs Shame

    “

    Pergunta de entrada

    Build a Christ-centered teaching on Luke 15:11–32 (the prodigal son): identify the scandal, the repentance, and the father’s welcome in the text. Then write a 10-minute talk outline with an invitation that distinguishes conviction from shame.”
