The Journey Of Joy

Contributed by John Newton on Dec 17, 2023

Three perspectives on joy from Isaiah

As I was preparing to preach this week, I considered giving my sermon the title “Getting Serious About Joy”. Then I thought better of it and came up with “Joy Is No Laughing Matter”. All joking aside, were you aware that joy is currently the subject of a high-level academic examination? Nine years ...read more

Zedekiah, The False Prophet With Fake Iron Horns Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 4, 2025

A false prophet named Zedekiah used some unusual visual aids to reinforce his message. One small problem, though: his message didn't come from the LORD!

Introduction: This second message is about Zedekiah, probably one of the worst false prophets ever. He lived during the days of Ahab and Jehoshaphat but caused a great deal of grief for many people in both Israel and Judah. His “visual aids” didn’t help, either! The setting for this “prophecy” ...read more

The Loving Father

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Nov 9, 2001

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

There Were Two Brothers

Contributed by Guy Glass on Sep 14, 2004

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.

There Were Two Brothers Luke 15:11-32 INTRODUCTION: This parable is the third of a trilogy of parables. The first parable in the group was that of the shepherd and the lost sheep. This parable told of the shepherd leaving the 99 sheep and searching for the one lost sheep. The truth communicated ...read more

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 7, 2019

Solomon was a type of Christ, he was the son of David; but there is a greater son of David – Jesus Christ. The Queen of Sheba represents a person seeking Christ. Her fervency in seeking Solomon should be compared to our seeking of Jesus.

Contributed by Don Aldrich Tamayo on Sep 12, 2023

Introduction: Dear brothers and sisters, today we will study on a profound journey through the pages of Scripture—a journey that unveils the depth of God's forgiveness and exposes two critical aspects of human nature: the sin of self-dependency, as embodied by the younger son, and the sin of ...read more
