    We all lose items, but God does not want to lose His children.

    Text: “And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day” (John 6:39). Has anyone here ever lost anything? For example, have you lost a key, an address, some money, your wallet, your credit card, or anything ...read more

    God Is Looking For You and For Me Scripture: Luke 15:1-32; Matthew 6:33 Introduction Webster’s dictionary defines the word lost as “ruined; destroyed; not to be found; missing; having wandered away.” Spiritually we often think of the “lost” as those persons who ...read more

    The Parable Of The Good Father

    Today we will look at a familiar passage of scripture commonly called the parable of the prodigal son but I feel a fitting title would be the parable of the good father. We see the selfishness of the two sons set off against the love of the good father.

    Introduction Today we will be studying a fairly familar passage of scripture, familar to most of us as the parable of the prodigal son but most aptly called in my opinion the parable of the good father. Luke 15:11-12 And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12 And the younger of them said to his ...read more

    The Father: Reaching Into The Pockets

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 9, 2010

    The waiting father reaches deep into the reservoirs of love, extending compassion to his wayward son. So we also as parents must seek not to control but to guide and then be ready for forgiveness.

    I shall not soon forget the image he presented, this father of the bride. He had smiled all through the vast and elaborate preparations for the wedding; his daughter was a kind of elegant princess, he knew it, she knew it, everybody knew it – and so the princess must have a grand occasion. ...read more

    We must all pray for vocations to the priesthood and ministry, but we must also invite young persons to consider that vocation, and create an environment that reaches toward the transcendent in our worship.

    This parable is commonly called the Parable of the prodigal son. But as I read the parable, nothing grips me more than the father.

    The Restoration Of Father God

    To those who are lost and living under slavery to the power and curse of Sin, the Word is saying “Come make peace with God.” To those who do have salvation through accepting Jesus, God is saying “learn what you have been restored with and live by it.”

    “But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet...” (Luk 15:20) This is a well known parable, most Christians have either heard of it or study on it. And there is still a lot for us yet to learn and ...read more

    The first in a series of messages centered around the "Go" sayings of Jesus.

    Today we start a brand new series that is extremely timely for us as a church and I suspect for many of us as individuals. The series is simply entitled “Go.” And even though “go” in both the original languages of Hebrew and Greek means “go” I think it is ...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.

    Parables of Jesus Welcome Home Luke 15:11-32 April 26, 2009 A family had put the carcass and scraps from their turkey dinner in a trash bag and set it outside next to the back steps intending to clean up and then put the bag in the can after making sure that nothing else needed to go in the bag. ...read more

    What God Is Looking For…

    Contributed by Thomas Bowen on May 7, 2009

    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
