    This sermon helps believers analyze whether they are only servants of GOD or have they started living as Children of GOD!

    “Are You A Servant Or A Son??” Luke 15:17-19 I. A servant (John 15:14-15) servant - one that must work for another and obey him: John 15:14-15 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have ...read more

    The story of the prodigal son is presented as an example of repentance.

    Forgive Me For I Have Sinned Luke 15:11-32 Introduction: At some time in the distant past, someone decided to divide a circle into 360 equal parts and call them “degrees.” Terminology related to the circle has wormed its way into our language. For instance, when we come to a street corner and ...read more

    Who was the prodigal?

    Sermon: The Giving Father Mary Vs. Eve Opener Joke One week a Sunday school teacher had just finished telling her class the Christmas story, how Mary and Joseph went to Bethlehem and how Jesus was born in a stable and laid in a manger.

    Why the original version would have been so shocking

    The Gospel reading is taken from: Luke 15:11-20 11 Jesus continued: "There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to his Father, ’Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them. 13 "Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set ...read more

    The first message in a series looking at what keeps us from really dreaming great things for God.

    Introduction: Mystic Seaport is filled with a variety of clippers and other sea-worthy ships. Countless voyages have been sailed by each ship. There is perhaps no greater sight to behold than that of such a sea-worthy vessel, trimming through the water under full sail. The ship is in her world. ...read more

    A Father Who Deserved Better

    Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Jun 11, 2003
    based on 54 ratings
     | 9,645 views

    The father in this parable certainly deserved better than what he received from both his sons. I think we can all agree that our heavenly Father deserves better than what He receives from His children today.

    A FATHER WHO DESERVED BETTER 11 Then 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 falls to me.’ So he divided to them his livelihood. 13 "And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed ...read more

    Understanding The Father's Heart

     | 29,734 views

    From the parable of the prodigal son, we see the Father’s love and longing for his lost son to return. The salvation of the lost is a big thing to Him. Do we know our Father’s heart today?

    Luke 15:11-32 UNDERSTANDING THE FATHER’S HEART What is God really like? The Bible says He is a Father to us, we are His children. It is not enough to ask, “Do you believe in God?” What is more important is “What kind of God do you believe in?” Jesus tells us here in this chapter through 3 ...read more

    Let’s talk about the positive aspects of fatherhood. And to do that, I call your attention to the familiar story of the prodigal son, & especially to the father of the prodigal son.

    MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (REVISED: 2017) (This sermon is largely my adaptation of an excellent sermon by Dennis Slaughter, former Minister of Valley View Christian Church, Dallas, TX.)

    There is joy in losing things because ultimately you find them! We, like the elder brother, do not even know what we are missing by not experiencing conversionsn, nor are we in touch with everyday grace. Celebrate! (Congregation invited to sing, severa

    The older I get, the more I lose things. I leave a file on that ridiculous garbage heap I call my desk, and two minutes later it has buried itself three layers down. I set my keys on the table to free my hands for something else, and when I turn my back, those keys take flight. It’s amazing. I ...read more

    Any Christian who strayed away from the Lord is considered a "prodigal son". Are you one of them?

    Luke 15:11-25 Topic: Am I a prodigal son? Usually when we think of the Prodigal Son story, we usually think of a young man leaving home because he wanted to be grown and wanted to be able to do his own thing without asking for his parents permission.

    THE DAY GOD RAN (LUKE 15:11-32) The news that superstar Leslie Cheung committed suicide on April 1, 2003, in then SARS-hit Hong Kong was at first considered a cruel April’s Fool Day joke.

    The Scope Of Grace Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 29, 2003
    based on 226 ratings
     | 32,567 views

    Many people consider it the greatest short story ever written because it speaks so truthfully to the human condition. It’s really the story of a father with two sons. One sinned when he left ­ the other sinned while staying home. We’re going to look at

    The Scope of Grace Since most of you are familiar with the story of the Prodigal Son, I thought I would read a different version of it ­ it’s called the “Prodigal Son in the Key of F.” Feeling footloose and frisky, a feather-brained fellow forced his father to fork over his farthings. Fast he ...read more

    Road Maps For A Far Country

    For Father’s Day: Fathers who say "yes" to everything provide a road map to disaster; who keep their children at arm’s length point to alienation; but who may also go home themselves to lead their children home. (Maps were displayed)

    I have always liked maps. Any kind of map fascinates me. You can learn so much from a map. If it is a road map, you can find out how to get from here to there and back again. When I was in elementary school and the classroom got boring, like most kids, I would doodle. But while some kids ...read more
