Facing Yourself

Contributed by Dewayne Gamez on Mar 20, 2017

We typically use this passage to inform the unsaved of God's love regardless of how deeply they have sunken into sin. That truth lives here in this Scripture, and it is indeed beautiful! But there is yet another truth that we will add to this first truth.

Facing Yourself Luke 15:11-32 According to a news report, a certain private school in Victoria recently was faced with a unique problem. A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put an their lipstick they would ...read more

Parable Of The Perfect Father

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jun 18, 2017

Jesus' Parable of the Prodigal Son teaches us how to treat others: with freemdom to make mistakes, with forgiveness in second chances, and with favor out of unconditional love. God is the perfect Father, showing us all three. (Father's Day message)

Luke 15:11-32 Parable of the Perfect Father Today’s story is probably my favorite in the Bible. I’ve shared it with you before, but never in the context of Father’s Day. Since the real hero of the story is the father, I thought it might be a good story to look at today. Let’s consider some gifts ...read more

The Makings Of A Good Dad

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jun 19, 2017

Today, dads are portrayed as inept, clueless and irresponsible. Modern-day TV oftentimes portrays the dad as being more like an additional ...read more
