    The Scope Of Grace Series

    based on 226 ratings
     | 32,912 views

    Many people consider it the greatest short story ever written because it speaks so truthfully to the human condition. It’s really the story of a father with two sons. One sinned when he left ­ the other sinned while staying home. We’re going to look at

    The Scope of Grace Since most of you are familiar with the story of the Prodigal Son, I thought I would read a different version of it ­ it’s called the “Prodigal Son in the Key of F.” Feeling footloose and frisky, a feather-brained fellow forced his father to fork over his farthings. Fast he ...read more

    Road Maps For A Far Country

    based on 9 ratings
     | 4,137 views

    For Father’s Day: Fathers who say "yes" to everything provide a road map to disaster; who keep their children at arm’s length point to alienation; but who may also go home themselves to lead their children home. (Maps were displayed)

    I have always liked maps. Any kind of map fascinates me. You can learn so much from a map. If it is a road map, you can find out how to get from here to there and back again. When I was in elementary school and the classroom got boring, like most kids, I would doodle. But while some kids ...read more

    A wise old man once said, "A lot of good luck is undeserved but then so is a lot bad luck..." The younger of the "two sons" wished he hadn’t had his run of bad luck. Let’s examine the Portrait Of A Prodigal together!

    Introduction No other picture in the Word of God speaks louder than the example Jesus’ gives us about the love and mercy of God as seen in the Portrait of a Prodigal.
