    "finding Our Way Home"

    Contributed by David Henderson on Feb 17, 2020
     | 4,069 views

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

    "Finding Our Way Home" Luke 15:11-20 While living in Kentucky 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 ...read more

    Parable Of The Father And The Two Sons -Luke 15 Series

    Contributed by Ashley Benjamin on Feb 27, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,186 views

    In a world which searches for answers and meaning for all the evil that takes place, we have a great promise and hope in the Lord Jesus Christ. This sermon series-‘God for us’ helps us understand that no matter what the situation, God is for us and nothing can separate us from His love

     The Parable of a Loving Father Usually we call this parable-the Parable of the Prodigal Son. The main point of the story varies as you look at it from different angles. In this parable we look at it from the loving father’s view and how He extends His grace to the one who didn’t deserved ...read more

    God’s Unconventional Reach

     | 10,054 views

    Jesus shares three stories to show how much every person matters to God. Jesus calls us to repent and return to him, love people he loves, and celebrate with heaven when lost people are found.

    Luke 15:1-10 God’s Unconventional Reach Have you ever lost anything? It’s really irritating, isn’t it? Losing car keys, losing your wallet, losing your cell phone. They make devices to ping all these things, but I’m sure I would probably lose that, too! Luke chapter 15 is all about lost things, ...read more

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

    Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Sep 19, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 7,584 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?

    The Challenge of Prodigal Children There are few challenges more difficult or more common than dealing with a wayward child.

    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

     | 9,356 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

    Although Messianic Judaism is how it all began with the Jewish Messiah and Jewish Apostles, it has been treated as an unwanted stepchild by Judaism and much of the Church

    THE STEPCHILD Some Provocative Food for Thought. There is a much-needed conversation… so let’s talk. Traditional Judaism and traditional Christianity have often treated Messianic Judaism as an embarrassing and problem stepchild. It is an ecclesial anathema.

    Holiness And Unconditional Eternal Security Series

    Is it possible for a person who is born again and mature in Christ to take his eyes off of the Savior and wander so far away from the faith that he would reject and disown Christ? And, if it is possible what would be the eternal consequences?

    Holiness and Eternal Security Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Matthew 5:3-5 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the ...read more
