    God throws a party in heaven when a sinner repents.

    He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Closed Door) # 17

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022
     | 1,524 views

    Notice, the Bible says in verse 22, “And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.”

    In this verse of Scripture we find the Lord had two goals as He was traveling to Jerusalem. (1) His ultimate goal was to go to Jerusalem where He would die for the sins of mankind. Luke told us that in Luke 9:51. We read, “And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, ...read more

    Will You Be Ready?

    Contributed by Scott Nichols on Jan 18, 2019
     | 12,865 views

    What if in the next moment - even as my words fall upon your ears - Christ returned with the shout of the archangel and the trumpet blast? "Faithful and true would He find us here, if He should come today?" Would you be ready?

    The hymn we have just sung asks a pointed question. A question that I fear too often we dismiss in our daily lives. With all the concerns of living in the present moment - with all of the accompanying joys or frustrations - we fail to give much thought to the final moment. That moment when time, as ...read more

    Come, for everything is ready now. And there is no legitimate excuse to refuse.

    Dwight L. Moody once preached a sermon from this parable; something I’m going to tell you about at the end of this sermon. His title was “Excuses” and as a sort of salute to the great preacher I’ve given mine the same title. I’ve never seen his sermon so any resemblance in this sermon to his is ...read more

    The only way to come back to the Father’s is to first come to yourself and realize that the Laws of the Father are in place to protect us.

    It’s time to go Home Luke 15:11-24 The Parable of the Prodigal is one of many parables Jesus used in His ministry. He used this particular parable in addition to others while He was addressing the publicans and sinners in the presence of the Pharisees and Scribes. Now Jesus begins ...read more

    Now you hear it, now you don’t is selective hearing and if we heard at all, before long it is gone away. What we really need is “Now I hear it… Yeah I still hear it.” Then the seeds of faith are growing in the richest soil of our lives.

    Most of you know, we spent Fourth of July weekend with my parents. My father has some hearing difficulty, but his greatest hearing difficulty is convenient hearing and not paying attention to what is being said around him. That can be said of many of us. Sunday afternoon he and I were watching ...read more

    First message in the series "God’s Lost and Found" from Luke 15. This message is deals with the fact that all are lost sheep in need of the Good Shepherd to find and carry them to the safety of the sheepfold.

    INTRODUCTION: Luke chapter 15 is what I like to call “God’s Lost and Found Chapter”. It is not three separate parables but rather one parable (v. 3) with three parts. Jesus uses three illustrations in this chapter to answer the Scribes’ and Pharisees’ accusation that He associated with ...read more
