    The Parable Of The Good Father

    Today we will look at a familiar passage of scripture commonly called the parable of the prodigal son but I feel a fitting title would be the parable of the good father. We see the selfishness of the two sons set off against the love of the good father.

    Introduction Today we will be studying a fairly familar passage of scripture, familar to most of us as the parable of the prodigal son but most aptly called in my opinion the parable of the good father. Luke 15:11-12 And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12 And the younger of them said to his ...read more

    As God has forgiven us He expects us to extend forgiveness to others.

    What can we learn from the parables? 1. God has forgiven us of a very large debt. The unmerciful servant was forgiven of a very large debt. One talent would purchase a slave; it is equivalent to 20 years= wages for the average man. The unmerciful servant owed his master 10,000 talents! There ...read more

    This message examines our tendency to expect someone else to carry our load within the church.

    The church family was shocked this week to learn of the passing of one of our most faithful members. Your state of shock is obvious as you begin to look around to try and figure out who is not here. I was saddened when I learned that Someone Else has gone on to receive his reward. This death leaves ...read more

    My friend Kon used to say ’the more I see of kids today, the more I think about getting a dog’. Then he had a son. He doesn’t say that quite as much any more.
