    Probably the best-known parable Jesus told is the one we call "The Parable of the Prodigal Son." But it has been suggested that the story is more about the loving, forgiving, & waiting father than it is of the prodigal son.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER CENTRAL CHRISTIAN, BROWNSVILLE, TX A. Today is Father’s Day, & as such it is a very special day for most families in our nation. And while fathers may not always be everything that they ought to be, it is interesting to note that when Jesus wanted to ...read more

    We live in a negative world. The Bible is full of positives. In the parable of the Prodigal Son & the Elder Brother, we see both optimism & pessimism.

    “Being Optimistic In A Pessimistic World” INTRODUCTION: There are many books on POSITIVE THINKING. The book “The Power Of Positive Thinking” by Norman Vincent Peale was required reading when I was a student at Trinity College. There are all kinds of “helps” out there to help us maintain a ...read more

    It may have been the criticism of the elder brother that drove the prodigal son away from home, but it was the love of the Father who brought him back!

    “The Kind of Church I want to be the Pastor of” Introduction: It seems the reason why the prodigal son left home might have been because of the attitude that his elder brother had towards him. What brought him home was the love of the Father. I do not want to frame my Church around the ...read more

    In a community where 40% of the people don’t give a rip about church what are we to do? How are we to approach them.

     | 5,734 views

    The saying "You can’t go home again" is not true when speaking spiritually.

After a long and grueling absence from his father he finally made his way homeward. You too can come back home—no matter how long you’ve been away; no matter how far down ...read more
