    Belonging In The Father's House Series

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 14, 2022
     | 1,955 views

    The parable of the Prodigal Son is an amazing story, one of love, abandonment, and grace. It is the story of one man’s journey to find his ultimate fulfillment only to realize that the fulfillment was right there at home all along.

    We see in this story three specific destinations: Destination 1: The Far Country (v. 13) The far country represents the world and all of its attractions. It looks so alluring with all of its big lit-up signs. “Pleasures!” “Do whatever you want!” “Follow your heart!” “Join us, we will show you a ...read more

    Slipping Down The Lifeline – But Not To The End (We Hope) Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 17, 2022
     | 2,484 views

    There is the lifeline that connects our communion with the Lord but we can slip and fail, and so we slip down that lifeline of communion. Many of the great men of God failed but were wonderfully restored in the comfort of God. What can we lose as we slip? How do we return?

    SLIPPING DOWN THE LIFELINE – BUT NOT TO THE END (we hope) Tales are told of people in rescue attempts trying to hold on to a rope in the stormy sea or raging river and over time their grip lessens and through fatigue they slip further and further down the rescue rope until they disappear. That ...read more

    What Jesus Said About How God Feels About You Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Sep 30, 2022
     | 2,767 views

    Have you ever wondered about how God feels about you? There can be no more important thoughts that we have than the ones we have about God and how he feels about us.

    Have you ever wondered about how God feels about you? If you’re here this morning, I’ll bet you have. And it’s a terribly important subject. Once you understand God exists, and who He is—that He’s your Creator and the sustainer of your life and will, therefore, likely have some considerable say ...read more

    The Miserable Son And The Maddened Sibling

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 24, 2022
     | 1,096 views

    Was the miserable son wasteful? Why did the father not punish the young son, if he deserved it? Was the maddened son self-centered and resentful?

    Verses 11 – 19: Was the miserable son wasteful? The young son’s portion of the property was 33% (Deuteronomy 21:17). By and large, he would have gotten this at his father’s death, although fathers in some cases decided to split their property early and resign from dealing with the estates. What is ...read more

     | 2,276 views

    This morning let us strive to look at this story from a different angle as we give weight to the bitterness and indifference of the elder brother. Today we will focus on the hungry heart and the alienated heart.

    ECLIPSE OF THE HEART Text: Luke 15:1 - 3, 11-32 Luke 15: 1 -3, 11- 32  Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to him.  (2)  And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, "This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them." ...read more

    Jesus uses 3 parables to tell what God's character is like. It is "grace". Some history of the culture from Ken Bailey is included. To the Pharisees “You think you know God, but you do not." Jesus is the God of Ezekiel 34.

    The Return Of The Prodigal

     | 2,673 views

    The fifteenth chapter of Luke gives us a wealth of information about a certain Jewish family.

    For example, we know from this scripture: • “A certain man had two sons.” (v. 11) • The younger son seemed to be a problem child. Look at verse 12. We read, “And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me...” • -The younger son was ...read more

    He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Parable Of The Prodigal Son) # 8

     | 1,520 views

    Introduction: There is an old saying that we sometime quote as true, but we need to be careful quoting it, because it only contains part of the truth.

    The quote is, "You can always tell a man by the company he keeps." Can you? Always? No, this is not always the truth. For example, Jesus kept company with many that society had rejected. (1) HE KEPT COMPANY WITH LEPERS Now in first-century Palestine, lepers were viewed with horror ...read more

    Happy Resurrection Sunday brothers and sisters, He Is Risen! Jesus Christ is alive right now. He is present in this room. He is alive in our hearts.

    “Well over three hundred verses are concerned with the subject of Jesus' resurrection in the New Testament. We are told that this event is a sign for unbelievers (Matthew 12:38-40); cf. John 20:24-29) as well as the answer for the believer's doubt (Luke 24:38-43). It serves as the guarantee ...read more
