    Father's Day: The father should be the hero of this parable. He had been watching and waiting with love and patience. Like the father who was looking for his son to return, the Lord is waiting for us to come home to Him.

    Luke chapter fifteen contains three parables. The third parable, which we are going to look at this morning, is sometimes called, “The Parable of the Prodigal Son.” Commentator William Barclay says, “For centuries the third parable has been called ‘The Parable of the Prodigal Son.’ It would be ...read more

    Why doesn't God divorce his unfaithful people? We would, in his place.

    Hosea must have been crazy. God told him to marry a prostitute named Gomer, and so he did.

How many of you have seen Pretty Woman, starring Richard Gere as the rich man who falls ...read more

    The phrase “I Love You” will eventually bring up the response, “Why Do You Love Me”. Well now you can be on the spot. Why, Why, Why? What can I say, what should I say? Why do I love him or her?

    Can Love Heal a Broken Heart? As you all know, it is Valentines time again.

     | 2,018 views

    To be able to “Love Well” means I embrace the 4 letter word, “LOVE.” But I must embrace the original definition and application given to the word “Love” by God and as God. The sad reality is the word, “Love” has been twisted, made to be filled with lust and loveless ways today.

Jesus addressed such matters in the Gospels. Paul and others walked these things out, in the midst of opposition. ...read more
