    The Parable Of The Good Father

    Contributed by Thomas Donelan on Aug 4, 2010

    Today we will look at a familiar passage of scripture commonly called the parable of the prodigal son but I feel a fitting title would be the parable of the good father. We see the selfishness of the two sons set off against the love of the good father.

    Introduction Today we will be studying a fairly familar passage of scripture, familar to most of us as the parable of the prodigal son but most aptly called in my opinion the parable of the good father. Luke 15:11-12 And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12 And the younger of them said to his ...read more

    The waiting father reaches deep into the reservoirs of love, extending compassion to his wayward son. So we also as parents must seek not to control but to guide and then be ready for forgiveness.

    I shall not soon forget the image he presented, this father of the bride. He had smiled all through the vast and elaborate preparations for the wedding; his daughter was a kind of elegant princess, he knew it, she knew it, everybody knew it – and so the princess must have a grand occasion. ...read more

    The Father's Lavish Love

    To help us understand the love the Father has for us so we will receive it (become adopted as a child in the family), return it, and share it (with our children).
