    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.

    We live in a negative world. The Bible is full of positives. In the parable of the Prodigal Son & the Elder Brother, we see both optimism & pessimism.

    “Being Optimistic In A Pessimistic World” INTRODUCTION: There are many books on POSITIVE THINKING. The book “The Power Of Positive Thinking” by Norman Vincent Peale was required reading when I was a student at Trinity College. There are all kinds of “helps” out there to help us maintain a ...read more

    The parable of the Prodigal Son is perhaps the most famous of all of the Lord’s parables. But are we truly understanding the full significance of this amazing message of love and mercy?

    “Homeward Bound” In the United States today, it is estimated that between one and two million teenagers run away from home every year. Of course, there are many different reasons why these children choose to leave their homes. Many are simply the products of very ...read more

    The Homecoming

    It is interesting to try and identify with the three characters in the story: 1. The prodigal. 2. The older son. 3. The father.

    I realize that I have recently preached on this passage of scripture, but I feel compelled to speak on it again. The reason is that while on vacation I picked up Henri Nouwen’s excellent book entitled: The Return of the Prodigal Son: A Story of Homecoming. It is one of those books that pulls you ...read more

    There are many "hurting" parents in the Christian community who have rebellious children. This is a message of agape love!

    Evangelist Carolyn Malaika Foster-Brooks THE MINISTRY OF S.A.R.A.H. in Lyons, GA. PRAYER: God, my Father above, I thank you right now for your undying love. Lord I am before You as a humble servant, yet bold enough to not be afraid of the Gospel of Your Son and my brother, Jesus Christ. God ...read more

    This is a story of a son’s repentance and a father’s great love and forgiveness. I hope that in hearing this familiar scripture that your hearts will, once again, be filled with the type of joy and happiness that only God can provide.

    This morning God has laid it on my heart to deliver a message from the gospel according to Luke. This is a parable that you have likely heard many times before, and surely will again. It is a story of a son’s repentance and a father’s great love and forgiveness. I hope that in hearing this ...read more

    based on 89 ratings
     | 10,986 views

    Third message in the series "God’s Lost and Found from Luke 15. This message deals with the prodigal son and the fact that when we stray awy from God we don’t cease being His child. He welcomes us home with open arms.

    We started, several weeks ago, a series of messages on God’s Lost and Found from Luke chapter 15. We came to realize that this is not three separate parables, but rather one parable with three different parts, or examples that each illustrates the love of the Lord Jesus for those that are ...read more

    Probably the best-known parable Jesus told is the one we call "The Parable of the Prodigal Son." But it has been suggested that the story is more about the loving, forgiving, & waiting father than it is of the prodigal son.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER CENTRAL CHRISTIAN, BROWNSVILLE, TX A. Today is Father’s Day, & as such it is a very special day for most families in our nation. And while fathers may not always be everything that they ought to be, it is interesting to note that when Jesus wanted to ...read more
