    Prodigals still exist. These individuals rebel, stepping away from God’s blessings, indulging in reckless living and ruining their lives. But God runs to meet those who are at the point of total desperation and who are willing to repent and return home.

    How to Return to God Luke 15:11–24 by David O. Dykes INTRODUCTION The parable in this passage focuses on the character and nature of the God of the Bible. It’s usually called the parable of the Prodigal Son but I prefer to call it the parable of the Loving Father. Jesus uses this story to teach ...read more

    We continue our series on fruit of the Spirit by examining patience.

    Introductory Considerations 1. It is not part of my nature. I wish I could be that way but it just isn’t me. If there is one thing I struggle with - it is being patient. I’m the type of person who will ask God for patience but only on one condition - I WANT IT NOW. 2. Would you say that you are ...read more

    If we are to effectively witness the Gospel to the world, regarding all kinds of evil, and living virtuous lives, we must do exactly as God has done to us: love the sinner and hate the sin.

    Paul in writing to the church located in Ephesus was interested in the way that they were walking as their walk revealed their attitudes, desires and relationship with Christ.

    Stop Walking That Way Ephesians 4:17-24 Have you ever noticed the difference in how different people walk? Some walk daintily, some slouch, others shuffle their feet, some walk tall, some sprightly.

    The first two churches in Asa Minor will show us types and shadows of the present day church. The first loveless, maybe mechanical. The second, persecuted, but strong and proven. This is a verse upon verse spreaching on the book of Revelation. Enjoy.
