Rev. Tim Barton

I'm a United Methodist Pastor who loves to teach people how to read their Bible, how to find themselves in God's Story, and how to use both of those skills to make tangible change in this world.

I graduated from Asbury Theological Seminary where I focused on Biblical Hebrew and the Pentateuch + Joshua. I believe that the Bible is one story that leads to Jesus and that all people invited to to drink from the deep well of that story, find themselves at Christ's table, and feast on his abounding love forever.

This sermon looks at the Parable of the Prodigal Son through the lens of our new series \"Hope and Despair.\" We look to see how when we come to the end of all of the hopes that we have in ourselves and we are left empty and wanting -- Jesus is the place where we can find hope again.
