    Sermon $ 42 - God Of Restoration Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 1, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,322 views

    God specializes in restoring those who are lost and gone away from Him. Everyone needs to be in the place God has assigned for us, for only there are we assured of God’s protection, privilege and we will also find our true worth.

    We read in Luke 15:20, “And he rose up and went to his own father. But while he was yet a long way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell upon his neck, and covered him with kisses.” (Darby) We meditated a little on this passage in the last sermon, considering ...read more

    Why Some Will Not Forgive Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on May 11, 2020
     | 2,421 views

    Not everyone is willing to forgive the truly repentant. This lack of forgiveness can be divided int three categories at least.

    Why Some Will Not Forgive Luke 15:25-32 Review: We forgive as God does, conditioned upon repentance. When we wrong another, and we take responsibility and ask forgiveness for the specific wrong, things are then out of our hands. If people forgive us, it is out of their graciousness. If they do ...read more

    The Journey To Restoration

     | 8,174 views

    The journey to restoration begins with an acknowledgement of your present situation. Have you come to yourself yet? Then acknowledge your return is based on the goodness and mercy for a loving Father, not a repentant speech of a son.

    The Journey to Recovery Lu 15:11-24 And he said, A certain man had two sons: And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey ...read more

    Godly parents don’t always produce godly children

    Recently I read about a married couple who couldn’t have children. They lived during a time of great upheaval in their country and it felt like their nation had fractured. Weeks turned into months, which turned into years. The barrenness in the wife’s womb made them both feel broken. One day ...read more

    Compassionate Father Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Jun 18, 2020
     | 7,570 views

    Why Father was silent when he heard his younger SON demanded dividends? Why Father parted his property with his younger son knowing that he is going to leave him and live according to his plan? These questions are related to the foreknowledge of God.

    Theme: Compassionate Father Text: Luke 15:11-32 The Lord is good! His love endures forever!! I greet you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. It is an immense joy for us to meditate the Word of God Sundays after Sundays. The topic for this Sunday meditation is “A Compassionate ...read more

    How do you parent adult children? Jesus tells us about a father who had 2 sons (we often talk about the prodigal son), but in the story we learn how our Father In Heaven parents us adult kids.

    Lessons From A Dad (Luke 15:11-32) Intro: A. Next year Joshua plans to get married. Our youngest child will join the ranks of his siblings and be married. Our nest will officially be empty. But does that mean I stop being a dad to our four kids or a good father-in-law to ...read more

    This sermon deals with the subject of shoes/sandals - 1. Symbol of Authority 2. Symbol of Consecration and 3. Symbol of Evangelism and the KOG

    Scripture: Joshua 5:13-15; Deuteronomy 25:5-10; Ruth 4:1-12 Theme: Shoes How the LORD used shoes (footwear/sandals) as a symbol of authority, a way to display our consecration and as a challenge for us to deepen our Discipleship (Evangelism/Spiritual Maturity).

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

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,187 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

    A look at the Prodigal Son story through the eyes of the older brother. Video of this sermon can be viewed at https://vimeo.com/253087477

    For those who haven’t been here, the story so far is this – A son scandalously asks his still-living rich father for his half of the inheritance. Even more scandalously, the father gives it to him. The son does what you might expect from a young man – he goes and wastes it on wild living. He goes ...read more

    God’s Unconventional Reach

    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

    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
