    This week we examine the parables of "lostness" focusing on the parable of "The Compassionate Father and His Two Lost Sons." While the prodigal son’s lostness is obvious, the elder son is lost in his own way as well.

    Parables of Jesus Welcome Home Luke 15:11-32 April 26, 2009 A family had put the carcass and scraps from their turkey dinner in a trash bag and set it outside next to the back steps intending to clean up and then put the bag in the can after making sure that nothing else needed to go in the bag. ...read more

    What God Is Looking For…

    Contributed by Thomas Bowen on May 7, 2009

    After seeing the disciples of Jesus hiding in the upper room it is hard to imagine that they had any vision of their own. That is why it is important to understand how God sees things and what he is watching for.

    Last week we looked at the slowness of Easter’s arrival for the disciples. They were locked away in a room. They were full of fear and doubts. Jesus appears, it would be easy to claim that that fixed everything for the disciples. But it did not; we know that if we read through the different ...read more

    What’s It Like To Being Lost? Luke 15:11-24 Intro: There is one thing Christians and non-Christians agree on – they both dislike evangelism. The word alone conjures up images of “in your face” confrontation. Therefore Christians usually avoid gospel showdowns and most of the non-Christians are ...read more

    The lesson from these parables is that Jesus DOES give up on some people, and that only seeing it in this way is there any good news. If you think the message of these stories is that God never gives up on anyone, I suggest you have gotten it backwards.

    The love that our heavenly Father has for us is recklessly extravagant, and is able to fill the Father hunger within us.

    Although the main focus of the Prodigal Son parable is the ungracious brother, the assumptions made about the Prodigal’s father are enlightening.

    In these stories we see four ways of getting lost, four consequences of being lost, and a fourfold quest for the lost.

    The Four Who Were Lost Luke 15 Intro One of my most cherished chapters in the Bible is Luke 15. I like the way it begins: “They dear near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.” Much is said about Christ in those words. They mean that those who failed realized that in Christ ...read more
