    A look at the three figures in one of Jesus’ most famous parables

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Mar 30, 2023
     | 1,642 views

    The reasons for grief are many, such as the loss of a loved one, the loss of health, or the letting go of a long-held dream. Dealing with a significant loss can be one of the most difficult times in a person's life. Jesus sees God’s dream for Jerusalem slipping away.

    Sermon: What Jesus’ Grief over Jerusalem Reveals Matthew 23:37 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones God’s messengers! How often I have wanted to gather your children together as a hen protects her chicks beneath her wings, but you wouldn’t let me. 38 And now, look, ...read more

     | 1,038 views

    We always associate a hearse with death. What about baptism? How do we look at baptism? Doesn’t baptism represent death to an old way of life and the beginning of new life as a new creature in Christ? Paul said it did!

    BURIED WITH HIM, RAISED WITH HIM Text: Romans 6:1 – 6, 13 - 14 Romans 6:1-6  What then are we to say? Should we continue in sin in order that grace may abound?  (2)  By no means! How can we who died to sin go on living in it?  (3)  Do you not know that all of us who have ...read more

    We spend 2.5 days a year looking for lost items like the TV remote. The prophet Isaiah helps us see what important daily quest we should undertake.

    According to a 2017 survey by Pixie, a company that furnishes technology to locate lost items, Americans spend the equivalent of 2.5 days a year looking for misplaced items. What do you suppose the most misplaced item is? No, not phones or keys. It’s the TV remote. Apparently more than 70% of us ...read more

    He is aware that his motives are easily swayed by internal and external, positive and negative forces, that attempt to satisfy his desires. Therefore, he must be cognizant of the battle by directing his desire toward God.

    Well as we continue our path to discovering what it means to be a man of God, we are discussing the attributes of a man. And of course – we look at our model man, who is Jesus Christ. And as promised each time, we said we’d look at a – something that he told us to do, and something that he did as ...read more

    A sermon focusing on the elder son in the prodigal son parable.

    “Two Lost Sons” Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32 This is probably one of the best known parables of Jesus in the Bible.
