    This story is known best as the Prodigal son but, I want to focus on the Father and his love and forgiveness

    How you think God sees you? How do you see God? Do you see God as looking down waiting for us to mess up so He can punish? Do you see God as a grandfather figure just patting everyone on the head ? The Bible says in 1John 4:16 GOD IS LOVE; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in ...read more

    Although some my consider salvation free, it came at a high personal sacrifice to the Father.

    THE PERSONAL SACRIFICE OF THE FATHER 3/05 John 3:16 I hear many times and even have said it myself that “Salvation is free, ” but I am concerned this statement can be a little misleading. It come at a tremendously high price. The free gift to the recipient comes at a high sacrifice to giver. I. ...read more

    Father: Responsibility In Relationship

    Contributed by Billy Ricks on Jun 19, 2011
     | 4,752 views

    As fathers, men, husbands we need to exchange our point of view for Gods. The cutlural viewpoint is distorted and diseased. Let Jesus show you what it means to be a real man. A real father.

    Intro: The question from the Pharisees, the rebuke from the disciples, and the rejection of Jesus by the rich man are clear indications of a great need for changing our point of view. I believe you will see as we teach this passage today that the reason there are so many problems with fathers, ...read more

    These are reflections of being a new father and how they relate to our relationship with our Heavenly Father.

    TEXT: Isaiah 64:1-8 “Reflections of a Father” – Part 1 When Jesus began His preaching ministry, he ruffled many feathers by constantly referring to God as “Father” or Av in the Hebrew. Even though God treated us like His children, it wasn’t something that the Pharisees were willing to grasp. ...read more

    Faith Like A Child

     | 5,458 views

    We need to consider how our waning faith can become a hindrance to others. Jesus provides a warning about hindering other believers who have the faith of a child. It is also a warning about hindering children from coming to Christ.

    Back when I was in college, one of my favorite songs was “Faith Like a Child” by Jars of Clay. Listen as I share some of the lyrics to this song: “Dear God, surround me as I speak; the bridges that I walk across are weak. Frustrations fill the void that I can’t solely bear . . . Sometimes, when I ...read more
