    We Christians today are to be encouraged by those who went before us in their faith and growing faith in God, throw off sin and whatever holds us back with our faith, persevere in faith and live out the life God called you to live, and always, always, see and listen to Jesus Christ!

    Please open your Bibles to the Book of Judges and let us quickly revisit Chapter 13…. How were Samson’s parents supposed to raise Samson to be?? Judges 13: Samson was to be raised to be a Nazirite! (Numbers 6… to be set apart for God) Now before reading Judges 14, look with me Judges ...read more

    When we disobey God by sinning, let’s not shift the blame or justify our actions with the faulty “the devil made me do it” theology. Instead, let’s take full responsibility for our actions, confess our sins to a gracious and forgiving Father, and pursue r

    How marvelous is the grace of God. Eternal Security is a truth that lies at the heart of doctrine. We're not caste out but cleaned up, not cursed but chastened, not rejected but renewed.

    The Parable Of The Good Father

    Contributed by Thomas Donelan on Aug 4, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,178 views

    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
