    The Scope Of Grace Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 29, 2003
    based on 226 ratings
     | 32,685 views

    Many people consider it the greatest short story ever written because it speaks so truthfully to the human condition. It’s really the story of a father with two sons. One sinned when he left ­ the other sinned while staying home. We’re going to look at

    The Scope of Grace Since most of you are familiar with the story of the Prodigal Son, I thought I would read a different version of it ­ it’s called the “Prodigal Son in the Key of F.” Feeling footloose and frisky, a feather-brained fellow forced his father to fork over his farthings. Fast he ...read more

    Road Maps For A Far Country

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 24, 2003
    based on 9 ratings
     | 4,001 views

    For Father’s Day: Fathers who say "yes" to everything provide a road map to disaster; who keep their children at arm’s length point to alienation; but who may also go home themselves to lead their children home. (Maps were displayed)

    I have always liked maps. Any kind of map fascinates me. You can learn so much from a map. If it is a road map, you can find out how to get from here to there and back again. When I was in elementary school and the classroom got boring, like most kids, I would doodle. But while some kids ...read more

    The first message in a series looking at what keeps us from really dreaming great things for God.

    Introduction: Mystic Seaport is filled with a variety of clippers and other sea-worthy ships. Countless voyages have been sailed by each ship. There is perhaps no greater sight to behold than that of such a sea-worthy vessel, trimming through the water under full sail. The ship is in her world. ...read more

    A Father Who Deserved Better

    Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Jun 11, 2003
    based on 54 ratings
     | 9,741 views

    The father in this parable certainly deserved better than what he received from both his sons. I think we can all agree that our heavenly Father deserves better than what He receives from His children today.

    A FATHER WHO DESERVED BETTER 11 Then 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 falls to me.’ So he divided to them his livelihood. 13 "And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed ...read more

    Why the original version would have been so shocking

    The Gospel reading is taken from: Luke 15:11-20 11 Jesus continued: "There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to his Father, ’Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them. 13 "Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set ...read more

    Our church needs to be a place where broken people can recover.

    Today’s message is about recovery from brokenness. This has been a strength of MCC and I hope it always is. Jesus loves and heals broken hearted people. Let’s be a church that He can use in this process. Our passage for today is Luke 15(11-24). (Read Passage) Being lost or losing something is a ...read more

    The Prodigal Son was hungry but he couldn’t even eat the filth of the world. His only hope was to go home. Jesus is waiting for you to come home.

    SURROUNDED BY PIGS, BUT CAN’T EAT HAM Pastor Jim May Jesus gave us many parables during His earthly ministry. All of those parables teach some very important lessons that every one of us should learn and heed. This morning I want to speak to you about one of those parables. It’s the very ...read more
