     | 6,474 views

    A look at the first half of the parable of the Prodigal Son. Who is the Father? How did the son reach the point of abandoning his family and the point of return. How did the Father react? Wonderful parable!

    This is the fourth week of the Lenten season and in the Scripture we are about to look at one of the most famous parables ever taught by Jesus. And, when we look at this parable we will, at this time, only be looking at the first half of the parable. As we start to take a look at this incredible ...read more

    A look at the parable of the prodigal son and what it says to parents of adult children who are not following the Lord.

    God searches for us until he "finds" us, and welcomes us into his arms when we return to him.

    Luke 15:1-32 "Lost and Found" INTRODUCTION There are times in our lives when we may doubt God's love for us. These times could range from receiving a traffic ticket to suffering from the flu, from losing your job to being told you have a serious illness, and everything in between. We may ...read more

    Let The Party Begin

    Contributed by Rev Ken Shedenhelm on Mar 31, 2013
     | 3,555 views

    Saving the lost is God's highest priority and heaven rejoices when a single sinner receives Christ. We are saved by grace, and knowing this frees us to share God's grace with others.

    "LET THE PARTY BEGIN" Luke 15:11-32 When I was growing up in Iowa, my parents gave me and my brothers words of wisdom from time to time. We were told, for instance, to eat everything on our plates because "people were starving in China," and to associate with good kids because we would be ...read more

    Anyone would be crazy to give up a relationship with God for the pleasures of this world. We would be foolish to give what we cannot LOSE to gain what we cannot KEEP!

    “The Prodigal Son” Luke 15:11:32 Pastor Allan Kircher Shell Point Baptist Church 23 Jan 2011 “God’s Joy and Sorrow” The term “Blood is thicker than water” is an old proverb referring to the strong ties which bind families together. Persons who have ...read more

    Priority Of Concern Series

    Contributed by Wayne Mock on Feb 4, 2011
     | 5,742 views

    People can have many priorities. Jesus expects His followers to have priorities based on His value system, not the value system of the world.

    There are many things in life about which we can be concerned. We can be concerned about the weather – when will it be warmer? We can be concerned about the economy – especially if we are being directly affected by the recession. One’s health is also a matter of concern to many people. This ...read more

    It's easy to develop a poor image of yourself. I'll be highlighting some statements we make if we have a negative view of ourselves. If you identify with any of them you will see the reasons why you can replace the negative self-image with a positive one.

    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

    Lent 4C

    There are a couple dialogical excerpts from the Prodigal Son story that deals with our conscious awareness, which is to “think about one’s thinking” or to consciously know what one knows, and to explicitly use this cognitive process in our spiritual life. 1. The first is when the passage states, ...read more

    Overwhelming Grace: The Prodigal Son, The Unjust Steward, And You!

    Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Sep 19, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 8,138 views

    This sermon examines the relationship between the prodigal son, unjust steward, and the hearer. It draws upon the parallels among all three to make a Gospel application. I am indebted to Dr. David Schmidt's observations on this text found on 1517.org for the idea.

    A few weeks ago, I bought the movie Dunkirk on sale, which is about the evacuation of over 300,000 British troops after the Fall of France in World War II. I tried to watch this movie at night as I was going to bed. Between falling asleep, helping with Mia, or checking my phone, the movie took ...read more

    There are few challenges more difficult or more common than dealing with a wayward child. It’s frustrating, tests our limits emotionally, drives us to prayer, and can even leave us feeling like a failure. How can we handle this?

    Two Things that Constrain Our Joy

    Legend holds that in 1884 a young man died, and after the funeral his grieving parents decided to establish a memorial to him. With that in mind they met with Charles Eliot, president of Harvard University. Eliot received the unpretentious couple into his office and asked what he could do. After ...read more

    Now, That Makes No Sense At All!

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Oct 11, 2019

     | 9,566 views

    It makes no sense to be part of the same family and be mad when the father chooses to do for one what he hasn’t chosen to do for the other. Yet, this is precisely what happened in the parable Jesus told of two sons, either of whom were prodigal.

    “Jesus said, ‘There was a man who had two sons. And the younger of them said to his father, “Father, give me the share of property that is coming to me.” And he divided his property between them. Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and ...read more

    Parents don't have to be crippled with guilt over a wayward child.

    St. Luke 15: 11-24 The story here is a familiar one to all church goers and bible readers. In many ways I feel unqualified to preach concerning the subject that God has spoken to me about. My children are all still at home and they are all saved. That does not make me a superior parent. It just ...read more
