We are committed to becoming a multi-generational, multi-ethnic, multiplying movement of Christ followers, equipping and empowering our kids and students to not only be the church of tomorrow, but the church of today.
On Tuesday, Israel carried out a series of unexpected bombings, targeting senior Hamas leaders. The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) said it was a "precise strike" on those responsible for the October 7 attacks, but the Qataris have called the strike a "blatant violation" of international law. Qatar has been mediating indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas to end the conflict in Gaza. In the US, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump was notified about plans of the strike ahead of time, but said, “Unilaterally bombing inside Qatar, a sovereign nation and close ally of the United States [...] does not advance Israel or America’s goals”. On today's Global Story, we talk to the BBC's Chief International Correspondent, Lyse Doucet, about the impact this could have on future peace talks.

Turn with me to the Gospel according to Luke, chapter 15. The Gospel of Luke, chapter 15. And when you found Luke 15, go ahead and stand for this morning's gospel reading. 00:00:24 All right. Notice these words as found here recorded. And. And, by the way, only found in Luke 15. This is the only place this story occurs. 00:00:35 And so here we go. And this first part is a preface, by the way. We're going to start with 15, 1, 3, and then drop down to the middle part of 11. All right. All the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to Jesus. 00:00:54 And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, this fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them. So Jesus told this parable. There was a man who had two sons. The younger of them said to his father, father, give me the share of the property that will belong to me. So he divided his property between them. 00:01:20 A few days later, the younger son gathered all he had and traveled to a distant country. And there he squandered his property in dissolute living. When he had spent everything. A severe famine took place throughout that country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed the pigs. 00:01:50 He would gladly have filled himself with the pods that the pigs were eating, and no one gave him anything. But when he came to himself, he said, how many of my father's hired hands have bread enough to spare? But here I am dying of hunger. I will get up and go to my father, and I will say to him, father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son. 00:02:21 Treat me like one of your hired hands. So he set off and went to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion. He ran and put his arms around him and kissed him. Then the son said to him, father, I've sinned against heaven and before you. 00:02:48 I'm no longer worthy to be called your son. But the father said to his slaves, quickly, bring out a robe, the best one, and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet and get the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again. He was lost and is found. 00:03:15 And they began to celebrate. Now his elder son was in the field, and when he came and approached the house, he heard music and dancing. He called one of the slaves and asked, what was going on. He replied, your brother has come and your father has killed the fatted calf because he has got him back safe and sound. Then he became angry and refused to go in. 00:03:43 His father came out and began to plead with him. But he answered his father, listen, for all these years I've been working like a slave for you, and I have never disobeyed your command. Yet you have never given me even a young goat so that I might celebrate with my friends. But when this son of yours came back, who has devoured your property with prostitutes, you killed the fatted calf for him. Then the father said to him, son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. 00:04:21 But we had to celebrate and rejoice because this brother of yours was dead and has come to life. He was lost and has been found. Jesus, thank you for this parable that came out of your lips, spoken in a certain context in the first century. Lord, would you speak out of your very lips this morning to us in this room in such a pointed way that it would turn us from a wayward way back home? We pray in your name. 00:05:00 Amen. And you can be seated. 00:05:07 Well, what a story. If you've never heard the prodigal son story, which most people, once you Send us a text…
