    I would like to thank Pastor Jerry Shirley for sharing this series on Acts. It has been a blessing as well as a great help. I have used these for our church, as I spend my days caring for my dying father.

    I believe Jesus is drawing our attention to the father and his compassion and joy in order to give us a a deeper understanding of the nature of God and His Kingdom; of our calling to be instruments of His life-giving compassion, and to share in His joy.

    We heard in today’s Gospel reading the Parable of the Prodigal Son, and I am sure most of us have read and heard it numerous times. And we all perhaps have lost count of the sermons we have heard on this parable. You may be wondering what on earth I can say on this that is new or unique. I ...read more

    I. Introduction We come to what I plan on being the final lesson in this series on our worship to God. I hope these lessons have been helpful reminders about why we do what we do in our worship as the royal priesthood of our King.

     | 12,520 views

    God wants for us the fullest, richest and deepest life we can have because he loves us. In return, he expects us to do Christ's work in this place, and in our own generation. In his name and by his power, we are to confront the world of evil.

    In Isaiah judgment will come on the whole vineyard; in Jesus’ story it is ready to come on a single vine. But the point is the same. Fruitlessness will bring judgment.
