    Who is the real emphasis on in the commonly called "Parable of the Prodigal son"? It may surprise you who was the real prodigal!

    THE PRODIGAL FATHER LUKE 15:11-24 INTRO: Jesus often spoke in parables in his teachings. 1. What is a parable? a. Parable signifies "the placing of one thing beside another" with a view to comparison. b. It is the lesson that is of value; the hearer must catch the analogy if he is to be ...read more

    The prodigal son and his elder brother had a loving father who was someone’s son. He’s the one I want to be like.

    THE SON I WANT TO BE Luke 15:11-32 11 And 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 falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. 13 And not many days after the younger son ...read more

    Sermon 1 in a 4-part series on Stewardship. Believers are those who choose a "heavenly" over a "worldly" perspective. It imapcts their attitude, amplitude, and gratitude.

    Prodigal Love Series

     | 4,101 views

    If the devil can convince you that your core identity is a sinner then you will live and act like it for the rest of your life. He knows that your actions arise from your identity, so he will try to convince you that your identity arises from your action

    Review We have been examining what it means to “be” the family of God. The past couple of weeks and this week we are looking at what it means to be a child of God. I think that we are all a bit stumped when it comes to recognizing our identity as a child of God. We are used to seeing ourselves ...read more

     | 5,084 views

    This sermon is from an “Exchanged Life” perspective on the grace of God which describes that grace as Unimaginable Kindness, Unrestrained Affection and Unceasing Flow.

    Years ago we went with Kathy’s parents to visit the Grand Canyon. It was beautiful and the sheer majesty of that sight took my breath away. So did the shortage of guardrails! Our young son wanted to race to the very edge and look over. My instinct was to hold him back safe from any danger of ...read more

    Two points: What the prodigal son expected: disgrace. What the prodigal son received: grace!

    Title: “What is so Amazing about Grace?” Introduction: What is grace? I sang the song, "When God Ran," in Church on Sunday morning. Here are some of its’ words: Then he ran to me. He took me in his arms, held my head to his chest, said “My Son’s come home again!” He lifted my face, wiped ...read more

    Here’s a different look at the parable of the lost son from Luke 15. It’s a narrative sermon that focuses not as much on the lost son, but more on the rest of the story...the older brother’s reaction.

    The Older Brother 2/24/2008 AM By Matt Stidham for the Whitewright Church of Christ I’d like to begin by telling you a story this morning. This story is a pretty common family story...while you’re listening to this story, some of you might be able to think of a family you know that could very ...read more

    God offers us ultimate forgivness.

    Ultimate Forgiveness This morning we are starting a series which will last for a total of 5 weeks. It’s appropriate that we start this series on Easter, because without the resurrection, there would be no ultimate forgiveness.

    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.

    THE PRODIGAL FATHER [Read Luke 15:11-24] -Maybe you’ve heard another version of this story of the Prodigal Son: The Prodigal Son in "F" Feeling footloose and frisky, a featherbrained fellow forced his fond father to fork over the farthings, and flew far to foreign fields and frittered his ...read more
