     | 11,462 views

    This message is a exposition of the Parable of the Prodigal. The message demonstrates how rich the parable is and how the Middle Eastern context adds to our understanding of the meaning and application of the three main characters of the parable.

    The Parable of the Lost Sons Luke 15: 11-32 Introduction – Going to Cyprus for an extended stay of 3 months when I was 3yrs old back in 1963, I experienced village life that plunged me into a context that in some ways probably resembled something of the village setting of the parable of the ...read more

    In view of the church today, we should ask ourselves the following questions: 1. Are we a church in a maintenance mode or a mission mode? 2. Are we tied to the dock serving as a reception center or (are we out on the seas of life serving as a rescue operation? 3. Which is greater our seating ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,217 views

    Jesus told three parables about lost sheep, a lost coin and a lost son. The stories highlight the truth that missing people matter to God. God places tremendous value on every individual. All heaven rejoices when one person repents and turns to God.

    “Welcome Home” Luke 15:11-27 Those of you who have had or currently have sons can closely identify with the story Jesus told about a rebellious son. The rebellious son was the teenager and the other son was obedient and probably in his twenties. In Luke chapter 15 Luke records that Jesus made ...read more

    Jesus The Man-Hunter

    Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Nov 1, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,254 views

    A perspective on Mark 1: 29-39 When the word goes out that someone is missing, will you follow Jesus in the manhunt? Or, do you remain where you are? If you do the later, is it because you are still lost?

    Mark 1: 29-39 JESUS THE MAN-HUNTER Theme: God seeks the lost. All of God’s creation is adversely affected by human sin. This is easily seen when an oil spill in the ocean traps various sea life and threatens its existence. A poorly maintained ship can leak engine oil into the water as it ...read more

    Fitting In

    Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Feb 13, 2011
     | 7,370 views

    comedian Lenny Bruce gives our Christian psychology a metaphorical cattle prod shock when he said, “Every day people are straying away from the church and going back to God.’” I suspect it has a lot to do with fitting in.

    “Fitting In” John 17:11-19 I read the prologue to a story called Girl in the Middle. The girl is Kim Satinsky who is in eighth grade. She says, “You would think that being in a clique is fun but take my word for it: It’s not. They make me wear expensive things when I’m not really rich and tell me ...read more

    no matter what we have done, God still loves us

    Now all the tax-collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to him. And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, 'This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them.'

    Follow me – allow yourself to be led by God; understand that in this life you will experience dread; be willing to be ministry fed; and allow the word of God to feed you until you want no more – be word fed.

    Sunday, March 18, 2007 “Follow Me” Text: Luke 9: 21 – 27 As we continue in our walk with Jesus, we paused when he suggested Come Rest Awhile, we where stunned when he commanded to Be thou clean.

    I love hearing people share their personal testimony. This message unveils the testimony of the Apostle Paul. Before he was saved, when he got saved, and since he got saved.
