    A Father Who Deserved Better

    Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Jun 11, 2003

    The father in this parable certainly deserved better than what he received from both his sons. I think we can all agree that our heavenly Father deserves better than what He receives from His children today.

    A FATHER WHO DESERVED BETTER 11 Then He said: "A certain man had two sons. 12 "And the younger of them said to his father, ’Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.’ So he divided to them his livelihood. 13 "And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed ...read more

    From the parable of the prodigal son, we see the Father’s love and longing for his lost son to return. The salvation of the lost is a big thing to Him. Do we know our Father’s heart today?

    Luke 15:11-32 UNDERSTANDING THE FATHER’S HEART What is God really like? The Bible says He is a Father to us, we are His children. It is not enough to ask, “Do you believe in God?” What is more important is “What kind of God do you believe in?” Jesus tells us here in this chapter through 3 ...read more

    Let’s talk about the positive aspects of fatherhood. And to do that, I call your attention to the familiar story of the prodigal son, & especially to the father of the prodigal son.

    There is joy in losing things because ultimately you find them! We, like the elder brother, do not even know what we are missing by not experiencing conversionsn, nor are we in touch with everyday grace. Celebrate! (Congregation invited to sing, severa

    The older I get, the more I lose things. I leave a file on that ridiculous garbage heap I call my desk, and two minutes later it has buried itself three layers down. I set my keys on the table to free my hands for something else, and when I turn my back, those keys take flight. It’s amazing. I ...read more

    The Temptation To Be Perfect Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 18, 2000
     | 4,951 views

    To be perfect as God is perfect, paradoxically, requires us to understand our own weaknesses and failures the way God does, and to love ourselves, despite those weaknesses and failures, the way God does.

    It may sound like a contradiction in terms to have a sermon on the temptation to be perfect. After all aren’t temptations about being imperfect. Doesn’t God want us to be perfect just as he’s perfect? But you know, there is such a thing as the temptation to be perfect. All of us are subject to it ...read more

    This in-depth view of Prodigal Son parable focuses on the elder son and the bitterness and resentment he displayed upon his brother’s return and how we sometimes have the same inflated sense of goodness and faulty understanding of our Father’s grace.

    The Scope Of Grace Series

    based on 226 ratings
     | 32,904 views

    Many people consider it the greatest short story ever written because it speaks so truthfully to the human condition. It’s really the story of a father with two sons. One sinned when he left ­ the other sinned while staying home. We’re going to look at

    The Scope of Grace Since most of you are familiar with the story of the Prodigal Son, I thought I would read a different version of it ­ it’s called the “Prodigal Son in the Key of F.” Feeling footloose and frisky, a feather-brained fellow forced his father to fork over his farthings. Fast he ...read more
