    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

    Rian Adams: Sermon on the parable of the lost son, Lent 4, Year C. The sermon looks at family dysfunction.

    ?The Parable of the Dysfunctional Family The Rev. Rian Adams The father in this parable makes me uncomfortable. Some of his ways even bother me. I’m also willing to guess that he might seem “off” to you as well. There is one thing we can see; he wasn’t very good at raising sons. We know this ...read more

    What is God's attitude toward repentant sinners?

    Searching for the Lost: An Exposition of Luke 15 There are three well known parables in Luke 15, the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son. Parables are illustrations which use a story to shed light on spiritual truth. Jesus wasn’t the only one who taught in parables in his day, but he was a ...read more

    A sermon focusing on the elder son in the prodigal son parable.

    “Two Lost Sons” Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32 This is probably one of the best known parables of Jesus in the Bible. I’d say it is right up there with “The Parable of the Good Samaritan.” It is usually referred to as “The Parable of the Prodigal Son.” According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary, the ...read more

    Being lost creates a strong sense of anxiety and often fear.

    Weekend Message/Devotion March 31, 2019 Luke 15:1-3, 11-32 Finding a Way Home! Most of us are very familiar with today’s gospel reading which is inclusive of the parable of The Prodigal Son. One commentary that I read entitles the reading: “Lost and Found”. Because the prodigal son is such a ...read more

    The plan of the Father is much better. He wants all humans to be His children, to be one with His Firstborn, Jesus Christ, worshiping in spirit and truth, in the Holy Spirit of Truth.

    Fourth Sunday of Advent 2019 The Plan of the Parent I have to admit that even though I have been writing and donating and praying for the conversion of all involved in the abortion industry ever since that black birthday in 1973 when this unspeakable act was made legal by the Supreme Court, the ...read more

    Extravagant Love

    There are some stories that are so wonderful they leave us feeling blessed just by hearing them. The story of God's extravagant love is one such story.

    There are certain stories that at the moment you read them or hear them they have the ability to really tug on the strings of the heart. They are so moving, so beautiful that you can’t help but feel blessed just by the mere fact of having heard or read them. This is exactly the way I felt when I ...read more

    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

    The Entitled Brother

    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!

    based on 3 ratings
     | 8,051 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
