    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!

    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!

    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

    This first person sermon hears the account of the prodigal son from the prodigal son himself. His story is our story - a story of God's amazing grace!

    This morning I would like to speak to you as if I was that prodigal, wasteful and reckless son that we heard about in our gospel lesson. I come to you this morning to share my story, the same story that Jesus shared with a rather diverse group of people who had gathered around him from every walk ...read more

    Today, I want to preach on the Parable of the Prodigal Son looking at it from the position of the dad.

    INTRODUCTION: I love the Parable of the Prodigal Son found in Luke’s Gospel. It is one of my favorite stories in the New Testament. Now, if my memory serves me correctly, I have preached this passage twice already at Bala Chitto. The first time I preached it, my focus was on the Prodigal Son. The ...read more

    A Father's Day sermon that looks at the attributes of the father of the prodigal son and how they apply to our heavenly Father.

    Father of the Prodigal Luke 15:11-32 While Mother’s Day is one of the largest attendance days in churches, Father’s Day, unfortunately, is one of the least attended. And to me this is sad, because while mothers should and need to be honored, because they put up with so much with such grace, ...read more

    Movies + Pop Corn + Church = Reel Talk

    Reel Talk Pt. 5 - Hacksaw Ridge Luke 15 is unique. It is probably no more than a 20 or 30 minute slot of time in Jesus' life. However, it stands out against all other moments when Jesus speaks because the entire exchange is simply stories. Stories to respond to the religious folks and their anger ...read more

    The background for this parable is that multitudes of publicans and sinners came to hear the Lord Jesus. The Pharisees and scribes began to murmur, to criticize Him because of this. They were shocked that He would welcome them and even eat with them.

    Jerusalem Lesson: Parables of Lost Sheep, Coin, Son (1 Peter 2:25) Luke 15:1-32 This chapter has probably got the best-loved parable that our Lord told; we call it the parable of the Prodigal Son.

    In the light of a recent mass murder in the US, this message speaks of the consoling and redeeming love of God, express in the parable of the lost son.

    Exploring the progression of a sinner in the prodigal son: from his wanting independence, which lead to his shame, which lead to his repentance, and his brother's jealousy of his grace received.

    The Parable of the Lost Son Introduction: In his book, What’s So Amazing About Grace , Phillip Yancey tells the story of Ernest Hemingway.

    Jesus gives us an inside look at the heart of God the Father and at the same time showing the Jews that their special place and status is secure. Jesus did not come to remove them from their place but instead wanted to see them willingly take their place

    The Prodigal Son Luke 15:11-32 Today we look at a parable that many of us know well or at least we think we know it well. However as always the Holy Spirit of God desires to lead us into all truth or deeper truth about God’s word. It is important to remember that all of God’s word is meant to ...read more

    The father maintains his love equally with both sons.

    One time a little boy was asked to define Father’s Day and he said, “Its just like Mother’s Day, only you don’t spend as much on the present.” Erma Bombeck in her usual humorous way wrote the following about fathers, “When I was a kid a father was like a light in the refrigerator.
