     | 1,706 views

    The Prodigal Son has gone away, and has come home again. The Loving Father has permitted him to go, but has watched and waited and welcomed him home again with celebration. Now the Elder Brother wonders why. How could God love like that? Is this really how God loves?

     | 2,827 views

    Jesus welcomed those who others rejected. The Pharisees and scribes pushed them away. The crowd just watched. Who will we be like?

As Jesus and his disciples travelled, Jesus has been teaching [picture on slide]. He and his disciples have been healing and casting out demons. ...read more

    You’re simply a person in want, and you’re turning to ‘things’ because you have not understood how good ‘Father’ is!!! “Stop solidifying your identity based upon what you do, or what you did; Start identifying with who you are in Jesus, and you’ll change what you do.” P.H

     | 1,817 views

    Do we rejoice with God and the angels of heaven every time another sinner repents? In Luke 15 , Jesus tells three parables and all three parables end with a celebration. But, not everyone comes to the celebration.

    All of Heaven rejoices with us in our relationship with God - no matter what we have done or failed to do in this life

    "Tell me a Story” is a simple and shorter way to reference Jesus' use of parables. A parable is a relatable way to share a moral or spiritual lesson. While some don’t like parables because they don’t get right to the point. Others love a good story because it forces us to think and ...read more

Once you understand God exists, and who He is—that He’s your Creator and the sustainer of your life and will, therefore, likely have some considerable say ...read more

    The Missing Sheep And The Misplaced Silver

     | 1,196 views

    Are some Christians like missing sheep and misplaced silver? If so, what should we do?

    In verses 1 - 2: Why were the Pharisees bothered and irate that Jesus related with these individuals? The strict religious leaders were consistently mindful to remain “Clean” as per the Old Testament Law. Truth be told, they went well past the Law in their aversion of specific individuals and ...read more

    Jesus' two parables in Luke 15:1-10 are about the character of God.

    “Getting too Friendly with Sinners” Luke 15:1-10 Imagine living in Jesus’ world and imagine being labeled a “sinner” in that world. Now, I think we stumble over that term in this context because according to Christian doctrine we are all sinners, right? But this wasn’t necessarily the way ...read more
