    This morning let us strive to look at this story from a different angle as we give weight to the bitterness and indifference of the elder brother. Today we will focus on the hungry heart and the alienated heart.

     | 1,996 views

    Sometimes we are tempted to think that life is so unfair. Where is God when we are suffering? We attempt to look at questions such as: Why does Jesus has to suffer and die? & What does the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ has to do with me?

    Part 1 : Facts About the Crucifixion Crucifixion probably started first with the Persians but perfected by the Romans to inflict the maximum pain to the victim. Crucifixion was also the most disgraceful form of execution and cruel that Roman citizen will not be executed by crucifixion. ...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

    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.

    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 started running toward the bear hollering, “Bad Bear! Bad Bear!” The bear raised up on its back legs, and it appeared to be around 7 or 8 feet tall. 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

    Introduction: There is an old saying that we sometime quote as true, but we need to be careful quoting it, because it only contains part of the truth.

    The quote is, "You can always tell a man by the company he keeps." Can you? Always? No, this is not always the truth. For example, Jesus kept company with many that society had rejected. (1) HE KEPT COMPANY WITH LEPERS Now in first-century Palestine, lepers were viewed with horror ...read more
