    "In A Manner Of Speaking": 'the Prodigal Son' [part Six]

    Contributed by Reverend Cooper Mcwhirter on Oct 1, 2016
     | 4,006 views

    Did Jesus resort to using allegory as a clever ruse so as to keep things hidden? On the contrary! Jesus resorted to using parables so that the listener could better understand “the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven” [Matthew 13:11].

    Sermon Preached at Grace Community Church (EPC) Sun City Grand, Surprise, AZ Sunday, September 6, 2015 by the Reverend Cooper McWhirter In a Manner of Speaking: “The Prodigal Son” Luke 15:11-32 [NET] The scriptures tell us that on one occasion ...read more

    Turning Complaints Into A Celebration

    Contributed by Paul Sizemore on Oct 10, 2016
     | 7,478 views

    Jesus was often judged harshly by the religious authorities in his day. The Pharisees and the scribes believed wrongly that he was condoning the sins of people whose company he shared. Instead Christ came to make of them "new creations" (2 Cor. 5:17).

    “Turning Complaints into a Celebration” Luke 15:1-10, Proper 19-C September 11, 2016 “Grumble”: It’s an interesting word isn’t it? And here we find it in the second verse of our Gospel lesson today. “And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying: ...read more

    Calling All Friends

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Nov 13, 2016
     | 7,124 views

    Jesus offered a parable of a woman who had lost a coin of great value. Once it was found, through a diligent search, she called her friends to rejoice with her. We too should seek out the lost and rejoice in their salvation.

    Calling all Friends Luke 15: 8-10 Our text today comes from a familiar chapter where our Lord shares three different parables – The Parable of the Lost Sheep, The Lost Coin, and the Lost Son. These parables were given in response to the Pharisees criticism of His interaction with sinners. ...read more

    The sermon shares why the son left and why the son returned.

    1. The Fathers House didn’t allow him to do it his way The prodigal wanted to do it His way: His way is the right way, the best way, the only way. Doing it my way means I am Fed Up with the way things are right now! • 12The younger one said to his father, `Father, give me my share of the ...read more

    Parable Of The Perfect Father

     | 23,860 views

    Jesus' Parable of the Prodigal Son teaches us how to treat others: with freemdom to make mistakes, with forgiveness in second chances, and with favor out of unconditional love. God is the perfect Father, showing us all three. (Father's Day message)

    Luke 15:11-32 Parable of the Perfect Father Today’s story is probably my favorite in the Bible. I’ve shared it with you before, but never in the context of Father’s Day. Since the real hero of the story is the father, I thought it might be a good story to look at today. Let’s consider some gifts ...read more

    The Makings Of A Good Dad

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jun 19, 2017
     | 12,567 views

    For Mother's Day my sermon was, "The Makings of A Good Mom" so it's only fitting that I do the same for Father's Day. Quote: "It only takes a minute to be a father but it takes a lifetime to be a dad." What are some things that make a good dad?

    THE MAKINGS OF A GOOD DAD Contrast between TV dads of the 50's and those of today. Back then Dad was portrayed as the leader, the guider; he was admired. Today, dads are portrayed as inept, clueless and irresponsible. Modern-day TV oftentimes portrays the dad as being more like an additional ...read more

    The lady lost her blessing, her coin of completeness was gone... She grabs a candle and sees the dust bunnies. She grabs a broom and cleans house... THEN SHE FINDS THE RESTORATION.

    SINGING PRAISE, AND LISTENING TO THE WORD Psalm 95 In days gone by not everybody who gathered in our churches could read, so it was useful to learn things by rote. So when the praise-leader sang “O Come let us sing unto the LORD” (Psalm 95:1), the congregation knew to join in the singing of ...read more

    Jesus said, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." He also said, "Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple." So following him is vitally important. How is it done?

    Movies + Pop Corn + Church = Reel Talk

    Reel Talk Pt. 5 - Hacksaw Ridge Luke 15 is unique. It is probably no more than a 20 or 30 minute slot of time in Jesus' life. However, it stands out against all other moments when Jesus speaks because the entire exchange is simply stories. Stories to respond to the religious folks and their anger ...read more
