    Prodigal Love Series

    Contributed by Robert Higgins on Apr 15, 2008
     | 3,868 views

    If the devil can convince you that your core identity is a sinner then you will live and act like it for the rest of your life. He knows that your actions arise from your identity, so he will try to convince you that your identity arises from your action

    Review We have been examining what it means to “be” the family of God. The past couple of weeks and this week we are looking at what it means to be a child of God. I think that we are all a bit stumped when it comes to recognizing our identity as a child of God. We are used to seeing ourselves ...read more

    This sermon is from an “Exchanged Life” perspective on the grace of God which describes that grace as Unimaginable Kindness, Unrestrained Affection and Unceasing Flow.

    Years ago we went with Kathy’s parents to visit the Grand Canyon. It was beautiful and the sheer majesty of that sight took my breath away. So did the shortage of guardrails! Our young son wanted to race to the very edge and look over. My instinct was to hold him back safe from any danger of ...read more

    Two points: What the prodigal son expected: disgrace. What the prodigal son received: grace!

    Title: “What is so Amazing about Grace?” Introduction: What is grace? I sang the song, "When God Ran," in Church on Sunday morning. Here are some of its’ words: Then he ran to me. He took me in his arms, held my head to his chest, said “My Son’s come home again!” He lifted my face, wiped ...read more

    Here’s a different look at the parable of the lost son from Luke 15. It’s a narrative sermon that focuses not as much on the lost son, but more on the rest of the story...the older brother’s reaction.

    The Older Brother 2/24/2008 AM By Matt Stidham for the Whitewright Church of Christ I’d like to begin by telling you a story this morning. This story is a pretty common family story...while you’re listening to this story, some of you might be able to think of a family you know that could very ...read more

    God offers us ultimate forgivness.

    Ultimate Forgiveness This morning we are starting a series which will last for a total of 5 weeks. It’s appropriate that we start this series on Easter, because without the resurrection, there would be no ultimate forgiveness.

    This series explains the gospel in a way that challenges everyone. Have you ever thought you knew something, to find out you missed the point entirely? In Jesus’ parable we historically call "the prodigal son" only half the story is typically talked about

    A man had two sons... Luke 15 tells us the powerful parable of being lost and finding the extravagance grace of God! The problem, the older son is just as lost as the younger one, but doesn’t know it.

    The Prodigal God Act Two: The Older Son Inspired by and parts based on Tim Kellers book “The Prodigal God” Luke 15: 25 "Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27 ’Your ...read more

    World Hunger Sunday: The younger son found that physical hunger starved his soul; the elder son found that spiritual hunger hardened his heart; the Father hungers for all of his children’s needs.

    When I read the Gospels, I know that Jesus must have been a Baptist, and the twelve disciples must have been the Deacons of the First Baptist Church of Galilee. Must have been! Do you know why? Because there is all this talk about eating! Everywhere you turn in the Gospels, there are stories ...read more

    Why the original version would have been so shocking

    The Gospel reading is taken from: Luke 15:11-20 11 Jesus continued: "There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to his Father, ’Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them. 13 "Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set ...read more

    Our church needs to be a place where broken people can recover.

    Today’s message is about recovery from brokenness. This has been a strength of MCC and I hope it always is. Jesus loves and heals broken hearted people. Let’s be a church that He can use in this process. Our passage for today is Luke 15(11-24). (Read Passage) Being lost or losing something is a ...read more

    We don’t usually hear much about the older son, but hey, he had a right to be miffed! Didn’t he...?

    (A backwards glance at the parable of the Prodigal) 22 “But the father said to his slaves, ‘Quickly bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet; 23 and bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat and celebrate; 24 for this son of mine was dead ...read more
