    Contributed by Joel Sumagaysay on Mar 22, 2016
     | 11,745 views

    This is the message of repentance and restoration. God is ready to forgive us and restores the broken fellowship.

    Are you ready to go home? Luke 15:11-25 11 Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them. 13 “Not long after that, the younger son got together ...read more

    A perspective on Luke 15: 1-3, 11b-32. The loving father does he wait for a lengthy and rehearsed apology from his returning son. He sees him coming in the distance and with joy runs out to greet him. In this way he brings honour again to his son.

    Luke 15: 1-3, 11b-32 The God Who Runs God loves to have a party. He has been known to host the best and biggest celebrations in heaven whenever a sinner turns around from following their own desires and decides to come home to God. Everyone is invited to celebrate. Our parable today is not so ...read more

    Grace is there when we want it all, leave it all, and waste it all.

    Luke 15:11-24 “Grace meets us where we are, but does not leave us there” I do not understand the mystery of grace -- only that it meets us where we are, but does not leave us where it found us.--Anne Lamott, 1. The Prodigal Son was like the following • I want it all mentality ...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
