Contributed by Gregory Mc Donald on Feb 10, 2010

This morning I want to look at the story of a young man who discovered the truth of the familiar quote, "There's no place like home." It's the familiar story of the prodigal son...but maybe from a different angle than you've heard it before.

HOME SWEET HOME LUKE 15:11 24 There is an old song that is still popular that says, "There's no place like home for the holidays..." With Thanksgiving and Christmas just around the corner our thoughts often turn toward home. For me, there are so many great memories of the times my family had ...read more

The Spirit’s Personality Series

Contributed by Bill Walker on Feb 25, 2017

The works of the Spirit proclaim his personality. The Holy Spirit is our guide that sometimes forbids certain actions. God’s Spirit can suffer slights and injuries. The Holy Spirit can be lied to.

THE SPIRIT’S PERSONALITY In many Christian circles the Holy Spirit is either neglected, forgotten, or misunderstood. The One given, to unite the body of Christ is the center of controversy … So often Christian work is so rigidly programmed that it seems we need no longer depend on Him ...read more
