Home Sweet Home

Contributed by Gregory Mc Donald on Feb 10, 2010

This morning I want to look at the story of a young man who discovered the truth of the familiar quote, "There's no place like home." It's the familiar story of the prodigal son...but maybe from a different angle than you've heard it before.

The Parable Of The Good Father

Contributed by Thomas Donelan on Aug 4, 2010

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.

Luke 15:11-12 And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12 And the younger of them said to his ...read more

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.
