    A Father Who Deserved Better

    Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Jun 11, 2003
    based on 54 ratings
     | 9,767 views

    The father in this parable certainly deserved better than what he received from both his sons. I think we can all agree that our heavenly Father deserves better than what He receives from His children today.

    A FATHER WHO DESERVED BETTER 11 Then He said: "A certain man had two sons. 12 "And the younger of them said to his father, ’Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.’ So he divided to them his livelihood. 13 "And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed ...read more

    Our Prodigal Father

    Contributed by David Mcnally on Sep 9, 2012
     | 4,833 views

    Jesus told a parable to illustrate how sinners, like silly children, can come back to their forgiving fathers, but while the younger son was prodigal in the way he got through his father's money, it is God our heavenly Father who is prodigal, extravagant

    GOSPEL - Luke 15:11-32 SERMON – Our Prodigal Father We call God “Our Father” but He is greater in every way than any human father or mother could ever be. Paul said: “We think WE are so wise, so clever, but God’s foolishness is wiser than human wisdom”. His ...read more

    You Matter To God (Easter 2014)

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Apr 20, 2014
     | 5,462 views

    When something lost is found, God celebrates the recovery! Jesus taught in three parables of the importance of finding things that are lost, which is EXACTLY what His death on the cross allowed us to be: We can now be FOUND because we matter to God!

    You Matter to God Easter Sunday 2014, Luke 15:1-32 Introduction - This morning, we are going to push pause on our study in Revelation -- The purpose of this message is to celebrate Easter, and really challenge us - Often we like the same old stories, often we like to tune out ...read more

    Always Remain Watchful Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 26, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,202 views

    The two parables here serve to caution us about slacking off in kingdom work. We need to keep our waist girded and be ready for service; and be alert and watchful at all times, so we don’t miss opportunities to share the love of Christ.

    This evening’s message is entitled “Always Remain Watchful,” and it’s taken from two short parables commonly called “The Parable of the Faithful and Evil Servant” and “The Parable of the Thief.” In these two short parables Jesus spoke a word about faithfulness; the kind of faithfulness that leads ...read more

    Getting Serious About Spiritual Formation

    Contributed by Dr. Jonathan Vorce on Feb 27, 2025
     | 498 views

    Spiritual growth is a journey requiring patience, faith, and surrender. Jesus' parables remind us that becoming more like Him is a gradual process. This message explores the challenges of spiritual formation and how we can trust Christ to complete His work in us.

    Scripture: Galatians 4:19 - "My little children, for whom I am again in the anguish of childbirth until Christ is formed in you!" Introduction • Growth often requires patience, care, and persistence. Example: a garden, a dream, or a relationship. Growth requires attention and ...read more

    The Wedding Banquet: Invitation, Ingratitude, And Indiscretion, Part I

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 20, 2023
     | 1,431 views

    Jesus' parable of the wedding banquet (Matthew 22:1-14) is a call to salvation. There will be many who will make poor excuses and refuse the invitation. There will be those who accept it with gratitude, but some will try to enter in their own way. In which category do you fit?

    Throughout the Scriptures, the call of God to come to Him for salvation, grace, and mercy is prominent. The paradise we lost at our fall into sin is not irreversible nor permanent. He has promised redemption even though we do not deserve it. He promised to make all things new, starting with the ...read more

    The  Danger  Of  An  Empty  House  (Christ The King Sunday 2022)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Nov 18, 2022
     | 2,166 views

    Consider what provoked Jesus to teach this parable.  Jesus had healed a man who was unable to speak. His opponents in the crowd accused Jesus of working for the devil (Luke 11:15) whose works Jesus came to destroy (I John 3:8).

    Luke 11:21 "When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe. 22 But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted and divides up his plunder. 23 "Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does ...read more

    I Came From The Father Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 15, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,111 views

    Jesus was forthright in declaring that He came from the Father, and that He would return to the Father. Christmas is recognition of this truth, pointing especially to the sacrifice of the Saviour for the sin of mankind.

    “I have said these things to you in figures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech but will tell you plainly about the Father. In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf; for the Father ...read more

    Take Hold Of Eternal Life

    Contributed by Paul Sizemore on Sep 28, 2016
     | 7,738 views

    Jesus has just said, "No one can serve two masters; you cannot serve God and money" (Luke 16:13). Then Jesus goes on to share his parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31). Paul's words to Timothy (I Timothy 6:6-19) support Jesus' claim.

    “Take Hold of Eternal Life” Amos 6:1-7; I Timothy 6:6-19; Luke 16:19-31 Proper 21-C, September 25, 2016 All three of the Scripture lessons read in our worship service this morning could easily remind us of that old adage: “You can’t have your cake and eat it too!” ...read more

    The Best Reason To Forgive

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Sep 17, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,699 views

    We have lots of good reasons to forgive others who hurt us, but the best reason to forgive is because God has forgiven us so much more. When we learn to appreciate the full extent of God's grace, we can practice giving away that grace to others.

    Matthew 18:21-35 The Best Reason to Forgive At some point, every one of us has been hurt, sometimes quite deeply. Maybe somebody here today is hurting. The question is, will you be able to forgive and let go, to move forward with your life? Forgiveness is a choice. You don’t have to forgive, but ...read more

    The Story Of An Absentee King Series

     | 3,776 views

    Every believer will give an account of their efforts You will give an account of your whole life. Some of you have taken the gospel and stuck in a sock drawer. Some of you have taken the story of Jesus and stuffed in under your mattress.

    I wish I could say I was shocked when I saw the story… A Libyan branch of ISIS claims to have beheaded 21 men. A caption across the bottom of the video screen read, “The people of the cross, followers of the hostile Egyptian church” As many as thirteen of the men were from one small farming ...read more

    The Gospel rarely appears so lovely, as when it is most oppressed. God’s work is never on such perfect display as it when it is under the greatest trials.

    Everyone loves a story. Stories are remarkably powerful things. They stir-up our imaginations and excite our affections. They instruct us and inspire us. They intoxicate and influence us. They linger with us, often becoming more precious and poignant and powerful over time. During His earthly ...read more
