Belonging In The Father's House Series

Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 14, 2022

The parable of the Prodigal Son is an amazing story, one of love, abandonment, and grace. It is the story of one man’s journey to find his ultimate fulfillment only to realize that the fulfillment was right there at home all along.

We see in this story three specific destinations: Destination 1: The Far Country (v. 13) The far country represents the world and all of its attractions. It looks so alluring with all of its big lit-up signs. “Pleasures!” “Do whatever you want!” “Follow your heart!” “Join us, we will show you a ...read more

In My Father's House

Contributed by Grant Adams on Jun 29, 2021

The cry of this young man is heartbreaking. It is a plea for mercy and help with none available. Here a young man finds out too late that you must be born again in order to go to heaven. Now he makes another plea, but this time it is not for himself, but for his brothers. He now realizes that those ...read more

Dependence Day

Contributed by James Price Jr on Jul 2, 2018

We like to think of ourselves as "independent." We should never want or desire independence from God. Even in our independence, we must rely on Him for many things.

When You Don't Like Where God Is Leading You

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 19, 2013

A look at struggles we have with the idea that God gets to shape us rather than us being in charge of our lives ourselves. What does it mean to let Him shape us like a potter shapes the clay?

WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO BRING THAT INTO MY LIFE? We want to be shaped in the way we choose. - It can be painful to be shaped. - Like a potter pressing his fingers into the clay to mold it into a different shape would probably not “feel good” to the clay if it were sentient, so the ...read more

MARRED AND MADE AGAIN One of the pleasures of being away from home on holiday is to have the opportunity of just standing and staring at interesting sights, such as a craftsman at work - perhaps a potter. The prophet Jeremiah did this once. He tells us what he saw: "The pot he was shaping from ...read more
