The Prodigal Son through the eyes of the father.

Lose Something ? Luke 15:11-32 March 25, 2001 We’ve all experienced misplacing something at one time or another. How many of you have searched endless for your keys ?

Little Is Much With God Series

Contributed by David Henderson on Nov 25, 2007

I this message I deal with the fact that God accepts us exactly where we are and uses whatever we have for his glory. This is a profound teaching by Jesus. The kingdom comes in small, almost unnoticed ways. But it never ends there.

“Little is Much with God” Matthew 13:31-35 From the OT all the way through to the book of Revelation we find story after story of God’s plan for us. There are stories of battle, there are love stories and there are stories children love. When Jesus came on the scene He came as a teacher. 73 ...read more

He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Closed Door) # 17

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

Notice, the Bible says in verse 22, “And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.”

In this verse of Scripture we find the Lord had two goals as He was traveling to Jerusalem. (1) His ultimate goal was to go to Jerusalem where He would die for the sins of mankind. Luke told us that in Luke 9:51. We read, “And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, ...read more

He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Aggressive Guest) # 21

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

Look at 14:1 “And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, THAT THEY WATCHED HIM.”

It is not hard for any of us to imagine how this took place in Luke 14:1. The Bible says He went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees. WHY DID HE GO THERE? Remember the Son of God became flesh as we are, and the Bible says He went into the Chief Pharisees house “…To eat bread on the ...read more

Welcome Home

Contributed by Ray Ellis on Oct 16, 2006

Jesus told three parables about lost sheep, a lost coin and a lost son. The stories highlight the truth that missing people matter to God. God places tremendous value on every individual. All heaven rejoices when one person repents and turns to God.

“Welcome Home” Luke 15:11-27 Those of you who have had or currently have sons can closely identify with the story Jesus told about a rebellious son. The rebellious son was the teenager and the other son was obedient and probably in his twenties. In Luke chapter 15 Luke records that Jesus made ...read more

Have you ever experienced those moments when you feel all alone? To make matters worse, it seems as though that there is no one in your corner.

Sharing The Good News In A Hostile World Series

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 17, 2025

Sharing the Good News in a hostile world is not easy, but it is necessary. The world may reject the message, but we must remain faithful, knowing that God is with us. Just as Peter and John could not keep silent about Jesus, we must boldly proclaim His name.

SHARING THE GOOD NEWS IN A HOSTILE WORLD By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: "So they called them and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

Make Kindness Thrive Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 26, 2021

A Christian is to be one who is daily creating chain reactions of kindness. Lucy Larcom said, "If the world seems cold to you, kindle fires to warm it." That was the practical goal Jesus was aiming at with this story of the Good Samaritan.

Back in 1991 Glamor Magazine had an editorial about a woman who drove up to the toll booth of the Bay Bridge in San Francisco and said, "I'm paying for myself and for the 6 cars behind me." One after another the next 6 drivers came up to the booth with dollars in hand only to be ...read more
