Burden For The Lost

Contributed by Samuel M on Feb 2, 2024

The elder son was in close proximity to the Father, but their hearts were far apart. The elder son's thinking differed from the father's thinking. Despite residing at Father's house, the elder brother did not share the Father's burden for the lost son.

And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. Luke 15:20 The prodigal son has returned to the Father, but there are many elder sons who still have not returned to the Father. ...read more

Sermon # 43- No Room For Self-Righteousness Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 22, 2025

Self-righteous Jonah rejoiced over a plant that gave him shade, but had not compassion on the people of Nineveh who genuinely repented of their sins. There’s no room for self-righteousness, as all of us are sinners saved by God's grace alone.

We read in Jonah 4:6, “Then the LORD God made a plant grow up over Jonah to give him some shade, so that he would be more comfortable. Jonah was extremely pleased with the plant.” (GNB) As we studied the life of Jonah there are numerous lessons that we have picked up, both for our personal lives, ...read more
