based on 4 ratings

The Prodigal Who Stayed Home Series

Contributed by Steven Chapman on Jun 22, 2015

| 11,114 views

This message speaks of the son of interest to Jesus in his most well-known story - not on the prodigal who left home, but the prodigal who stayed home. Of particular interest is the difference in this son's response and the Fathers to the other.

The Prodigal Who Stayed Home Luke 15:1, 2, and 25-32 "Tax collectors and other notorious sinners often came to listen to Jesus teach. This made the Pharisees and teachers of religious law complain that he was associating with such despicable people - even eating with them!" These two verses from ...read more

Commitment

based on 8 ratings

| 6,444 views

Why is it that Christians often need to be motivated to give when God has given us so much? God had provided for the Corinthians in such a wonderful way and yet they were hesitant to share what they had with others.

At that time he was making $40.00 per week and tithing $4.00. In a few years his income increased and he was tithing ...read more
