    We actually have three stories being told here. Three stories. One parable. One big truth and here it is. Lost things matter to God. God spends a great deal of time looking for his people.

    “Finding our way Home” Luke 15 A good friend of mine and I drove all the way to Detroit to see a baseball game. I had never been to the old Tiger’s stadium and they were playing my favorite team so we made the trek. I took my car and getting to Detroit was not a problem but ...read more

    When children are taught about the love of God, they are also and can't help but be, exposed to the Favor of God. A life long love of God, also includes the Life Long Favor of God.

    Finding the Fathers Favor You, " said the doctor to his patient, "you are in terrible shape, you’ve got to do something about it. *First, tell your wife to start cooking more nutritious meals. *Stop working like a dog. *Also inform your wife you’re going to make a budget , and she has ...read more

    Jesus' Parable of the Prodigal Son teaches us how to treat others: with freemdom to make mistakes, with forgiveness in second chances, and with favor out of unconditional love. God is the perfect Father, showing us all three. (Father's Day message)

    Luke 15:11-32 Parable of the Perfect Father Today’s story is probably my favorite in the Bible. I’ve shared it with you before, but never in the context of Father’s Day. Since the real hero of the story is the father, I thought it might be a good story to look at today. Let’s consider some gifts ...read more

    The Makings Of A Good Dad

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jun 19, 2017
     | 12,357 views

    For Mother's Day my sermon was, "The Makings of A Good Mom" so it's only fitting that I do the same for Father's Day. Quote: "It only takes a minute to be a father but it takes a lifetime to be a dad." What are some things that make a good dad?

    THE MAKINGS OF A GOOD DAD Contrast between TV dads of the 50's and those of today. Back then Dad was portrayed as the leader, the guider; he was admired. Today, dads are portrayed as inept, clueless and irresponsible. Modern-day TV oftentimes portrays the dad as being more like an additional ...read more

    This sermon looks at the parable of the Prodigal Son, and explores the relationship between the father, the younger son, and the older son. The intertwined relationship of this family shows that love and respect should be the key values of our church.

    Lately I have been binge watching this new American TV series called “This is us”. It’s about a family with triplets and their intertwining stories with each other now, when the characters are grown up, but it constantly flashes back to their childhood times. It shows how their loving parents ...read more
