    based on 61 ratings
     | 9,953 views

    This parable pictures Jesus as a cedar sprout from the top of David’s family tree. He becomes low and dry to save us, but the Lord made him a tall and florishing tree so that we are safe in his branches.

    Only God has made the Tree Grace and peace to you from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Word of God through which the Holy Spirit guides our hearts and minds today is recorded in Ezekiel 17:22-24 This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I myself will take a shoot from the very top of a ...read more

    It’s Not About The Prodigal Son

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jul 16, 2025
     | 542 views

    This message is about three parables that Jesus told that, although separated in Scripture, is really one message about how we should respond when someone repents and accepts Christ as Lord and Savior.

    It’s Not About The Prodigal Son The title of my message this morning is “It’s Not About the Prodigal Son.” This sermon title might not make sense to some of you but I promise you that by the end you will understand what the Spirit is saying to us through this title. When the Bible was translated ...read more

    This is a must read for anyone working with people. We are in a war, we often get so tired and wounded... We must learn to overcome obstacles. The negative thorns can grow us to our calling.

     | 11,603 views

    The Prodigal Son is a classic story of God’s love in a parable of a hippie, Sick of Home, who went out into the world but finding disillusionment was Homesick, and coming to his senses, came Home.

    THE PRODIGAL SON AND HIS HOME The parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32) is one of the classic stories of Jesus in sketching out bit by bit his message of the kingdom of heaven or, in other words, eternal life. The parable teaches us a lot about ourselves. It’s a parable that says we’ve ...read more

    King Saul’s depression, caused by disobedience to God, was relieved as he came to terms with himself and asked David to play his harp - a parable of what Jesus can do for us.

    A century ago when biographies of Christian men were written it was the accepted policy not to probe too deeply into their lives. It was felt that it wasn’t to the glory of God that a man whom God had used mightily in his service should have weaknesses or failings (except, of course, before ...read more

    This message is based on the parable of the persistent widow. It’s a call to prayer. It was written as the Iraqi crisis completed the first week. It concludes with directives on how to pray for our troops and our nation.

    Living on a Prayer Dr. Marty Baker / Luke 18:1-8 / March 23, 2003 Sometimes I struggle with prayer. I wonder if God can really hear me? Am I getting through? In my mind I know that prayer is the a direct line to God and that with God all things are possible, but does God have time to take me ...read more

     | 7,491 views

    Jesus’ parable of the vineyard was a stern warning to the Jewish religious leaders of His day. It is also a warning we should heed lest our seat in His kingdom be given to someone else.

    -Has it ever happened to you? -Have you ever “lost” something that “belonged” to you? -I don’t mean “lost” and “belonged” in the same way you are thinking -I really mean, has somebody ever given something that you thought should be yours to somebody else instead -How did that feel?

    We Have Nothing

    Contributed by Johnny Wilson on May 21, 2009
     | 2,789 views

    After Jesus taught His disciples to pray, He shared some parables about our persistence in prayer and the certainty of God’s great gift in answer--the Holy Spirit.

    For someone who doesn’t have a lot to be proud of, I’m afraid that I have to confess that I have acted with pride far too often in my life. Now, I don’t mean that I’ve surrounded myself with a “posse” of fans and supporters. I don’t mean that I’ve deliberately put anybody down or ignored them ...read more

    This is the first of a two-part series on the parable of the lost son. Heading into the New Year, this first message looks closely at the story of the lost son and the good news we have of a fresh start.

    When God Doesn’t Want to Hear It Luke 15:11-32 I sat at my desk staring blankly at the screen with a bit of a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. I didn’t know exactly where to begin, and I wasn’t even sure God wanted to hear it. I had just scrolled through the pages of a Word document where ...read more

     | 4,139 views

    Do we understand our calling to be Christ to the needy & poor? Francis of Assisi & Mother Theresa are illustartions in this message that links the parable fo teh sheep & goats to the Easter Emmaus story.

    Luke 24:13-35 Matthew 25:31-46 Isaiah 53:1-3 This Emmaus scripture is a strange one isn’t it? Friends walking with not just a close friend but their leader; yet despite knowing him so well they fail to recognise Him. Yet it is not just a case of the risen Christ being so different to the Jesus ...read more
