    The Parable Of The Good Father

    Contributed by Thomas Donelan on Aug 4, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,236 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

    The truthfulness of Christianity is made unbreakable because of Old Testament prophecy.

    How do you present the Gospel to someone who places Christianity as one of many religious options?

    Ten Reasons to Believe in Resurrection “That’s just impossible! Since it flies in the face of everything we know, you’d have to be an idiot to believe in the resurrection.” I hear this sort of thing all the time, and it’s often spoken as though it’s the very ...read more
