    God's Mercy For The Lost - The True Story Of A Man Lost At Sea

    Contributed by Paul Barreca on Nov 11, 2014
     | 7,513 views

    Joe was alone in the Pacific ocean, ten miles from shore, without a life jacket, and worst of all, no one knew that he was overboard.

    I’ve known Joe for twelve years. Joe and his brother Dan own an appliance repair business and have kept our home appliance working for many years. It was unusual for Joe to attend prayer meeting, so I commented to Dan how nice it was to see Joe out on a Wednesday night. "I guess you heard ...read more

    The God Who Runs

    Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Dec 6, 2014
     | 5,503 views

    A perspective on Luke 15: 1-3, 11b-32. The loving father does he wait for a lengthy and rehearsed apology from his returning son. He sees him coming in the distance and with joy runs out to greet him. In this way he brings honour again to his son.

    Luke 15: 1-3, 11b-32 The God Who Runs God loves to have a party. He has been known to host the best and biggest celebrations in heaven whenever a sinner turns around from following their own desires and decides to come home to God. Everyone is invited to celebrate. Our parable today is not so ...read more

    Determining Your Worth

    Contributed by Jason Duhon on Dec 6, 2014
     | 5,315 views

    Because Christmas is the time of year when churches expect the most visitors, this message is designed to be a Christmas message and an evangelistic sermon.

    Your Gift To Jesus Part 1: Determining Your Worth What is it worth? That's the question before every purchase, every investment, or every effort we make. For Black Friday, people will line up outside of a store for hours, or sometimes days, before the sale begins. Why? To get their money's worth! ...read more

    Where do you "fit in" to the parable of the Prodigal Son"?

    "Scandalous Grace" Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32 What are we to make of this parable? I think that this parable is the parable that most shows what God is trying to reveal to us in sending Jesus into the world. In the story Jesus tells, the younger son goes off with his inheritance and blows the whole ...read more

     | 5,556 views

    A few details of this beautiful parable that we may miss or take for granted because we think the story is so familiar.

    The so-called parable of the prodigal son is one of the—if not the—most beautiful stories in the whole Bible. God, it is pointed out, is like the father in the story. The beauty and power of this story is made very clear in the description and actions of the father. One of the dangers ...read more

    When something lost is found, God celebrates the recovery! Jesus taught in three parables of the importance of finding things that are lost, which is EXACTLY what His death on the cross allowed us to be: We can now be FOUND because we matter to God!

    You Matter to God Easter Sunday 2014, Luke 15:1-32 Introduction - This morning, we are going to push pause on our study in Revelation -- The purpose of this message is to celebrate Easter, and really challenge us - Often we like the same old stories, often we like to tune out ...read more

    How should we respond to the lost?

    When a “99” Isn’t Good Enough Luke 15:1-7 Introduction How many of you can remember your school days? How many of you would be satisfied with a 99 on your exam?
