    The Miserable Son And The Maddened Sibling

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 24, 2022
     | 1,205 views

    Was the miserable son wasteful? Why did the father not punish the young son, if he deserved it? Was the maddened son self-centered and resentful?

    Verses 11 – 19: Was the miserable son wasteful? The young son’s portion of the property was 33% (Deuteronomy 21:17). By and large, he would have gotten this at his father’s death, although fathers in some cases decided to split their property early and resign from dealing with the estates. What is ...read more

    Many people wonder what they can leave their children as an inheritance. You can give them land, money, possessions and power... but nothing compares to the inheritance that God says is one of the most important. What is that inheritance?

    This sermon series is entitled “Things That Keep Us Up At Night” and we’re looking at the question: “What do I leave my children when I die?” I’m getting to the age where I’ve got to consider writing a “Last Will and Testament.” I have to decide what kind of inheritance I’m going to leave my ...read more

    In the year 2001, they had a commercial on television where two campers were walking toward their camp site, and they saw a bear looting their camp and eating their food.

They realized that they had made a serious mistake by approaching the bear. Needless to say, both of them were frightened. One of them picked up ...read more

    In Zech. 1:3 God extends an invitation to his people for something better! Entry to that is through the door of repentance. This message focuses on the STRUCTURE of the book with an outline and the INVITATION to a discouraged people.

Zechariah means “Yahweh [covenant name of God] Remembers.” God remembers his covenant with his people, even when they forget it. He remembers his promises to them, even when they have ...read more
