    Someone noticed that the word "father" appears in the dictionary just before the word "fatigued" and just after the word "fathead." So, to all us fatigued, fathead fathers, Happy Father's Day! Updated June 2020.

    Let us Pray.... O' Gracious Father - bless now the words of my lips and the meditations of our hearts. Breathe your Spirit into us and grant that we may hear and in hearing be led in the way ...... you want us to go. We ask this in the name of your son Jesus the Christ. Amen. Someone ...read more

    God Is Looking For You and For Me Scripture: Luke 15:1-32; Matthew 6:33 Introduction Webster’s dictionary defines the word lost as “ruined; destroyed; not to be found; missing; having wandered away.” Spiritually we often think of the “lost” as those persons who ...read more

    The Parable Of The Good Father

    Contributed by Thomas Donelan on Aug 4, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,865 views

    Today we will look at a familiar passage of scripture commonly called the parable of the prodigal son but I feel a fitting title would be the parable of the good father. We see the selfishness of the two sons set off against the love of the good father.

    Introduction Today we will be studying a fairly familar passage of scripture, familar to most of us as the parable of the prodigal son but most aptly called in my opinion the parable of the good father. Luke 15:11-12 And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12 And the younger of them said to his ...read more

    The Father: Reaching Into The Pockets

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 9, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,402 views

    The waiting father reaches deep into the reservoirs of love, extending compassion to his wayward son. So we also as parents must seek not to control but to guide and then be ready for forgiveness.

    I shall not soon forget the image he presented, this father of the bride. He had smiled all through the vast and elaborate preparations for the wedding; his daughter was a kind of elegant princess, he knew it, she knew it, everybody knew it – and so the princess must have a grand occasion. ...read more

     | 7,467 views

    How does one prepare for Holy Communion? With a humble faith. The parable of the Prodigal Son will illustrate such a faith.

    The Art Gallery of Alberta (AGA) held the grand opening of its hip new $88 million building in January. Were you invited to this black tie event? Neither was I. Then again I didn’t give a million dollars for the construction of the Gallery nor am I a friend of the mayor. Gallery openings are ...read more

    Jesus used stories to illustrate the Kingdom of Heaven. We can learn from His stories, and learn to illustrate the Kingdom to others with stories from our walk with Jesus

    Stories; who likes stories? A good story is something you remember. Can anyone recall a story they were told as a child before they went to bed? How about some of the stories you were told around a campfire, out in the woods, with someone holding a flashlight under their chin….ooohhh scary! ...read more

    Hard To Be Humble

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 24, 2010
     | 3,152 views

    Independence Day 1988: Arrogance breeds blindness to our own sin, numbness to the needs of others, and a denial of relationships. The Father's Table is about mercy and grace for all.

    You have heard him a thousand times in the TV commercial, warbling away in that gravelly voice with an accent I hear only when I go back to Kentucky. He is singing in the shower and flaunting his huge schnozz at the camera. "0 Lord, it's hard to be humble, when you're perfect in every way". ...read more

    Priority Of Concern Series

    Contributed by Wayne Mock on Feb 4, 2011
     | 5,487 views

    People can have many priorities. Jesus expects His followers to have priorities based on His value system, not the value system of the world.

    There are many things in life about which we can be concerned. We can be concerned about the weather – when will it be warmer? We can be concerned about the economy – especially if we are being directly affected by the recession. One’s health is also a matter of concern to many people. This ...read more

    The prodigal succumbed to temptations all of us face: money, sex and power. He survived because he stopped denying his reality and received the grace of the father.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC June 26, 1988 It is frequently said about alcoholics that they have to hit rock bottom before they can be helped. The usual understanding is that because of the nature of the disease, the behavior called alcoholism, the person who suffers as a ...read more
