    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!

    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

    If the pardon issued is not accepted, it is invalid, you must accept it before it has value.

    When does a Pardon have Value? Luke 15:1-10, The sheep was lost because it may have foolishly wandered away; the coin was lost through no fault of its own. The neighbors and friends were called because the lost was found; the valued was back in their hands. Luke 15: 11-24 These are parables that ...read more

    This week we examine the parables of "lostness" focusing on the parable of "The Compassionate Father and His Two Lost Sons." While the prodigal son’s lostness is obvious, the elder son is lost in his own way as well.

    What God Is Looking For…

    Contributed by Thomas Bowen on May 7, 2009
     | 2,092 views

    After seeing the disciples of Jesus hiding in the upper room it is hard to imagine that they had any vision of their own. That is why it is important to understand how God sees things and what he is watching for.

    Last week we looked at the slowness of Easter’s arrival for the disciples. They were locked away in a room. They were full of fear and doubts. Jesus appears, it would be easy to claim that that fixed everything for the disciples. But it did not; we know that if we read through the different ...read more
