    Many fathers in today's world are wasting their opportunities and neglecting their duties. They are prodigal fathers! God is the perfect Father, and human fathers would do well to learn and return to His ways.

    The Prodigal Father returning to the Ideal Father INTRO: The world has set aside June 21st as a day to honor fathers. Of course if you are striving to please God, you will "honor your father" more than just one day a year (Ephesians 6:2). But "Father's Day" is a day on which some individuals ...read more

    I recently ran across a statistic compiled by a German scholar. He determined that in Paul’s 13 epistles, he uses the term “In Christ” or some form of it ~ “in Him”, “in the Lord” ~ no less than 164 times! Paul loved to talk about Jesus!

    (Capital Stewardship Day) The Greatness Of God Ephesians 1:15-20AMP Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father ...read more

     | 3,291 views

    When you are bored, you have lost interest; the way to counter that is to develop interests. This means being proactive, intentionally planning ways to reduce boredom, but we want to do this from a Biblical worldview.

    Defeating COVID Boredom in 2021 (topical) 1. Many people have not struggled much with boredom because they are social and involved in church, clubs, and community organizations. With the lockdown and long-term restrictions, however, things have changed. My friends in the ballroom dance club cannot ...read more

    Where do you "fit in" to the parable of the Prodigal Son"?

    "Scandalous Grace" Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32 What are we to make of this parable? I think that this parable is the parable that most shows what God is trying to reveal to us in sending Jesus into the world.
