    Grace shocks and saves; at the cross justice is fulfilled, and forgiven people live mercy and truth in a broken world.

    Introduction – When Grace Feels Wrong Imagine this. A well-known local businessman is caught embezzling millions. He is tried, convicted, and the sentence is ready to be pronounced. The courtroom is full of victims—employees who lost jobs, retirees whose pensions are gone. Everyone leans forward ...read more

    The story of the Prodigal Son will teach us many lesson on what we should avoid, and what we should value in order to continue in the place of abundance, and not end up in want.

    We continue our meditation on 2 Corinthians 9:8, “Besides, God is able to make every blessing of yours overflow for you, so that in every situation you will always have all you need for any good work.” (ISV) There is power in the word of God, and we must allow God’s word to be actualized in our ...read more

    On this Father's Day, we honor all fathers and inspire them to be the best they can be through the strength of Christ. We delve into the story of the Prodigal Son, not only focusing on the son's return, but also on the unwavering faith of the father who waited.

    Today, we honor fathers and trust that, through faith, we can be the best we can be with the strength of Christ. In this sermon, we will not only look at the return of the Prodigal son but also the faith of the waiting father. In Luke 15:11-31, Jesus tells a parable about a father and his two sons. ...read more

    Exploring the similarities between the desires of earthly fathers and our Heavenly Father.

    Father’s Day Luke 15:11-32 Today, we are going to talk about Father’s Day and the role of fathers in our lives. Fathers are often seen as the providers and protectors of the family.

    Prodigals, those who rebel and step away from God's blessings, still exist today. They indulge in reckless living, ruining their lives. But when they reach total desperation and are willing to repent, God runs to meet them and welcome them home.

    In this sermon, we will explore the parable of the Prodigal Son, which actually reveals the character and nature of our loving Heavenly Father. Jesus used this story to teach us about God's unconditional love and His willingness to embrace those who have strayed away from Him. It is important to ...read more

    Sometimes, the most detrimental thing God can do is to grant us our desires. The prodigal son's journey to a 'far country' symbolizes a place that first exists in our hearts. This journey and his eventual return home teaches us about the dangers of desire and the power of forgiveness.

    Today, we will explore the parable of the Prodigal Sons, which is the third story in a series of parables told by Jesus. This parable, along with the stories of a lost coin and a missing sheep, teaches us important lessons about God's love and forgiveness. Let us dive into the story and uncover its ...read more

    Recognizing the false securities in our lives and learning to hold onto Jesus as our firm and secure anchor.

    Hey everyone! Today, we're going to talk where we put our hope; the thing we hold onto when life gets tough. What I want you to walk away with is: there's only one thing we can truly rely on, and that's Jesus. Before we dive in, let me show you something.

    Sometimes the biggest gap is between family members. God teaches us about bridge building through Jesus’ story of the prodigal son. We should offer grace to those we have broken relationships with and celebrate when those relationships are restored.

    Today, we're talking about family drama. You know, those fights with your siblings or disagreements with your parents. We're going to learn from a story Jesus told about a son who messed up big time, but his dad threw a party when he came back home. We're talking about offering grace to those we've ...read more

    This exposition of Luke chapter 15 begins with a very personal story, highlighting how God even uses human frailty as a means to His grace.

    Once upon a time, in the summertime, there was a 16-year-old young man struggling to find his way. His father held a particular secular and materialistic philosophy about life and making meaning in the world—something the young man had tried to embrace, but it ultimately left him feeling empty. ...read more
