    Why didn’t the father go after his Prodigal Son? Why did he just sit and wait when he could have done so much more to bring his son home?

    OPENING STATEMENT: Over the past few weeks, we’ve been looking at how we can create a G-rated (a G-od centered) home in the midst of an R-rated world.

     | 7,085 views

    Jesus ate with all kinds of sinners, including the Pharisees. One such occasion is recorded in Luke 14:1-14. In this lesson we'll examine the disastrous dinner with a focus of learning who will sit around the Lord's table.

    The meal table is the main social center of the home. Think of some of your warmest memories and many of them will be associated with meal-time. In our text, the entire passage is centered around and on a meal table. The great question discussed was who will sit around God’s table in the ...read more

    Jesus called His disciples to sit and eat and be a part of everyone's life including sinners and that made the religious people nervous and anxious. Follow me is the two words given to Levi and the same two words given to us.

    Eating with sinners Luke 5:27-5:32 Luke 5:27-5:32 Prayer- Introduction- We live in a day and age of un-surety. Un-surety that you may put your shoes on in the morning and the undertaker may take them off at the end of the day. Bad things happen to good people everyday. God never promised ...read more

    So often we either sit like a knot on a log and refuse to seek God’s purpose for our lives or we do seek God’s purpose and realize just how difficult it can be to fulfill it.

    Leaving the boat to get on board. A. John the Baptist had just been beheaded by King Herod. Because of the rat race that was going on Jesus got his disciples in a boat and headed away for a little R and R. The crowds noticed Jesus and his disciples heading away from town, across the lake, so ...read more

    Although much of Jeremiah prophecy was about impending judgment upon Judah and Jerusalem, they also included a call for national repentance and the promise of possible restoration. It is easy to sit around and talk about the good ole days, especially, whe

     | 9,850 views

    Some of the exiled elders come and sit before Ezekiel as if they are ready to hear from God and God shows Ezekiel that these people aren't really ready to hear His voice and pronounces more judgement, while calling for repentance.

    VERSES 1-5: “Are you talking to ME?” -- God Some of the elders come and place themselves before Ezekiel. This is symbolic of a desire to be instructed by a rabbi. It indicates a desire to hear from God, even if it is half-hearted as we will see in this study. For a moment, ...read more

     | 7,754 views

    When we see God at work, sometimes no words are necessary. Sometimes, there is nothing we need to do but focus on God’s grace. Our best choice is to sit silently, and rely on what God has said to us.

     | 12,959 views

    One of the greatest tools of the enemy to hinder the Saints of God is condemnation. This lie causes countless millions of God's people to sit on the sidelines. Truth is, God works in the midst of sin, imputes righteousness, & doesn't count temptation.

    NO CONDEMNATION Rom. 8:1-2 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. An elephant was drinking out of a pond one day, when he spotted a turtle asleep on a log. Without warning, he strolled over, picked it up & threw it as far as he could with his trunk. 2. "What did you do that for?" asked a passing aardvark. ...read more

     | 4,397 views

    Living for Christ means that we live FOR Him, in everything we do. Sitting in judgment of others, hoping to prove ourselves superior, is SINFUL, and is exactly what the Pharisees thought they could do to Jesus ... and He calls them on it.

    A Harsh Indictment Mark 7:1-7, Isaiah 29:13, Joshua 24:15 Introduction - Jesus is demonstrated in this book as a “servant” -- Key verse: Mark 10:45, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” ...read more

    This opportunity to teach one of the most valuable lessons, a lesson that the disciples would struggle with, a lesson they were struggling with (James and John wanted to sit on the right and left hand in His kingdom) and a lesson that you and I struggle with!!
