    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. I’d say it is right up there with “The Parable of the Good Samaritan.” It is usually referred to as “The Parable of the Prodigal Son.” According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary, the ...read more

    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.

    The lady lost her blessing, her coin of completeness was gone... She grabs a candle and sees the dust bunnies. She grabs a broom and cleans house... THEN SHE FINDS THE RESTORATION.

    SINGING PRAISE, AND LISTENING TO THE WORD Psalm 95 In days gone by not everybody who gathered in our churches could read, so it was useful to learn things by rote.

    In Zech. 1:3 God extends an invitation to his people for something better! Entry to that is through the door of repentance. This message focuses on the STRUCTURE of the book with an outline and the INVITATION to a discouraged people.

    Last week we began a study of the book of Zechariah. (1) We discovered the THEME of the book in Zechariah’s name. Zechariah means “Yahweh [covenant name of God] Remembers.” God remembers his covenant with his people, even when they forget it. He remembers his promises to them, even when they have ...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.

    Lost & Pretending

    Contributed by Captain Emily Vincent on Jul 11, 2023
     | 1,284 views

    Jesus tells the parables about the lost sheep, the lost coin and the lost son, but how can this relate to us today in our modern world? And how can we as Christians be pretending? Will God be able to tell who we really are behind the person we have created ourselves out to be?

    Guys…I want to be really honest with you this morning… I love that we get to do some amazing things, but honestly. I’ve been running around like a chicken with my head cut off…running from one meeting to another, making sure everything on my multiple lists get done, and I’m just plain tired…I can’t ...read more

    Why do you suppose The Runaway Bunny is one of the most popular books for toddlers ever written? Because it reassures the child that whatever happens, she can’t get lost for good. Even if he gets mad and runs away, he still can’t get lost - because the mother bunny will always come after her child. ...read more

    This message is about discovering something or someone who is lost and how the joy that floods a soul-winner's heart cannot be described in words but can only be felt in a heart that has already experienced the grace of God.
