    Prodigality, Love And Grace Series

     | 5,485 views

    A few details of this beautiful parable that we may miss or take for granted because we think the story is so familiar.

    The so-called parable of the prodigal son is one of the—if not the—most beautiful stories in the whole Bible. God, it is pointed out, is like the father in the story. The beauty and power of this story is made very clear in the description and actions of the father. One of the dangers ...read more

    Movies + Pop Corn + Church = Reel Talk

    Reel Talk Pt. 5 - Hacksaw Ridge Luke 15 is unique. It is probably no more than a 20 or 30 minute slot of time in Jesus' life. However, it stands out against all other moments when Jesus speaks because the entire exchange is simply stories. Stories to respond to the religious folks and their anger ...read more

    The background for this parable is that multitudes of publicans and sinners came to hear the Lord Jesus. The Pharisees and scribes began to murmur, to criticize Him because of this. They were shocked that He would welcome them and even eat with them.

    Jerusalem Lesson: Parables of Lost Sheep, Coin, Son (1 Peter 2:25) Luke 15:1-32 This chapter has probably got the best-loved parable that our Lord told; we call it the parable of the Prodigal Son.

    What is God's attitude toward repentant sinners?

    Searching for the Lost: An Exposition of Luke 15 There are three well known parables in Luke 15, the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son.

    A sermon focusing on the elder son in the prodigal son parable.

    “Two Lost Sons” Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32 This is probably one of the best known parables of Jesus in the Bible.

    The difference between getting lost and staying lost.

    Lost? Luke 15: 1 - 10 Intro: Raise your hand if you will admit that you have been lost while driving your car. My observation is that men and women react differently to being lost: Man – drives and drives w/o stopping to ask directions. Woman – stops at the first gas station or even stop ...read more

    In Luke Chapter 15 Jesus paints us a vivid picture of the Love of God through the story of the Prodigal Son. How can we celebrate God’s party of love in such a way as to welcome not only the younger brothers who have come back from the dead, but also the
