There Were Two Brothers

As we approach this third parable, the Lord seeks to contrast the lost with those who are not. Our tendency is to focus on the younger son in the parable, and to completely miss the elder son. Today, I hope to be the exception to that tendency.

This parable told of the shepherd leaving the 99 sheep and searching for the one lost sheep. The truth communicated ...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.

based on 7 ratings

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

There is a saying: “You can’t go back home again.” But in this parable Jesus tells us of a young man who did indeed go home. 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

The Scope Of Grace Series

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.

Road Maps For A Far Country

based on 9 ratings

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
