    The preciousness of God, God's Love, What's really Important

    Lost and Found You know, Jesus had a way of cutting through all of the pretentiousness that he encountered during his time on earth here. He cut right to the chase so to speak.

    The background for this parable is that multitudes of publicans and sinners came to hear the Lord Jesus. The Pharisees and scribes began to murmur, to criticize Him because of this. They were shocked that He would welcome them and even eat with them.

    A sermon focusing on the elder son in the prodigal son parable.

    “Two Lost Sons” Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32 This is probably one of the best known parables of Jesus in the Bible.

    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.

    Jesus says that it isn’t the religious folk who are first in the kingdom of heaven. It is those who are most open to turning their lives around who are first in line, those who take action when Jesus says, “follow me”.

    It’s painful to have someone you trust tell you that they are going to do something for you---and they don’t. Many of us can tell stories about people who have let us down by making promises and then not following up on them. For example, there is a story of a young widow whose husband ...read more
