    Today’s world don’t make it easy to be a Godly Dad. We often make the assumption that Dads really need to be thrashed about the head and neck for failing to live up to God’s standards – and then wonder why they don’t come to church. Men I have the inspi

    This sermon explores the 128 psalm as a model for changing life, family, and nation from the father up.

    A Godly Father’s Reward Psalm 128:1-6 This morning I want to break with a long standing church tradition.

    The master of the ship was no longer the Master of the ship. The ship was blown eight hundred miles off course. The Devil was now in control. Our sinful habits take another turn. They become addictions!

    Title: "Getting Blown Off Course" You know better than to leave Fair Havens. Paul let the Centurion know that it was "God’s Will" for them to winter in Fair Havens. God had warned him not to leave the shores of the Island of Crete. Application. Being in the will of God should not be a ...read more

     | 6,026 views

    This sermon analyzes the perils that can be unnecessarily experienced when we choose to stray away from the Provision of GOD to go after what we want out of life!

    “Stay In The Father’s Presence!!!” Luke 15:11-24 11. And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12. And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. 13.

    This sermon on prayer points to the character of God the Father as an encouragement to pray.

    The Storyteller: The Parable of the Giving Father Matthew 7:7-11 Before you read this sermon, allow me to make two points. First, not all parables are long like the story of the Prodigal Son; some are only a sentence or two. Second, I have long found prayer to be something of a mystery. To quote ...read more

    So what do we learn from this parable? We learn who the Father is, and what His nature is.

    Intro Today, Jesus tells us a parable, a story. You probably know the Parable of the Prodigal Son. And the point of the parable is simple: When the lost are found, you rejoice. Instead of being a spoilsport, looking down on someone else, you rejoice when a sinner repents, and you join the ...read more

    The Parable Of The Good Father

    Contributed by Thomas Donelan on Aug 4, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,244 views

    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

    In Hebrews chapter 11, we’re introduced to several choices Abraham made “by faith,” and from these we’ll learn about how faith works and how to develop this kind of faith.

    We often allow the pain of our past to continue to rule us in our present and predetermine our future. Where you are now is not where you have to stay.

    There exist in this world in which we live a countless number of hurting, injured, abused and dysfunctional people that are living a virtual life of the “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”.
