    The prodigal succumbed to temptations all of us face: money, sex and power. He survived because he stopped denying his reality and received the grace of the father.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC June 26, 1988 It is frequently said about alcoholics that they have to hit rock bottom before they can be helped. The usual understanding is that because of the nature of the disease, the behavior called alcoholism, the person who suffers as a ...read more

    When I was 11 years old, my younger brother was killed in an accident.

    When I was 11 years old, my younger brother was killed in an accident. In the ensuing days people tried to comfort our family in the best way they knew how. You know how it is. You feel the need to comfort a grieving person so you say something like, "He’s in a better place," or "God needed him in ...read more

    Jesus describes two identities with one thing in common neither see themselves as children of the Father and both have consequences. What's your identity?

    Luke 15 – The prodigal son Hi everyone, it’s great to be with you this morning. I wanted to start by telling you a little bit about me and my family so that you get a little flavour of what we are like. Annie and I have been married for 12 years in October, we have two kids, Caleb ...read more

    As we approach this third parable, the Lord seeks to contrast the lost with those who are not. Our tendency is to focus on the younger son in the parable, and to completely miss the elder son. Today, I hope to be the exception to that tendency.

    There Were Two Brothers Luke 15:11-32 INTRODUCTION: This parable is the third of a trilogy of parables. The first parable in the group was that of the shepherd and the lost sheep. This parable told of the shepherd leaving the 99 sheep and searching for the one lost sheep. The truth communicated ...read more

    A refocus on the Parable of the Lost Son

    As we come to the end of our series on Loving like God I just want to put this out there right off the bat… Our Father is such a good Dad. I mean he is amazing, his love, his faithfulness, his grace, his mercy, he is just so awesome. If there is one thing that I want you to leave with today ...read more

    The home going service for my younger brother with down syndrome. Jesus teaches us a lesson in the time of death. Rest my brother Rest.

    I know that there are many people that will tell you not to cry because you have to be strong for everybody else, but I’m here to tell my family that it’s alright to cry, it’s alright to shed some tears, and it’s alright to groan in your spirit because if Jesus cried and we are no where near in the ...read more

    As I have continued to grow in this Christian journey, I have begun to discover the older son in Jesus' narrative is every bit as lost as the younger

    TITLE: DON’T MISS THE PARTY SCRIPTURE: ST. LUKE 15:25-32 I am sure like many of you this morning, we have heard this passage of scripture taught and preached many times over the decades. I am proud to say, I have participated and enjoyed Sunday School all of my life, therefore, I am very ...read more

    A look at the Prodigal Son story through the eyes of the older brother. Video of this sermon can be viewed at https://vimeo.com/253087477

    For those who haven’t been here, the story so far is this – A son scandalously asks his still-living rich father for his half of the inheritance. Even more scandalously, the father gives it to him. The son does what you might expect from a young man – he goes and wastes it on wild living. He goes ...read more

    A sermon on Luke 15:11-32.

    The Older Brother "Once a man had two sons. The younger son said to his father: 'Give me my share of the property.' So the father divided his property between his two sons." That's the dramatic beginning of a story that Jesus told. Who doesn't like to hear the end of it? Jesus had a knack for ...read more

    Here’s a different look at the parable of the lost son from Luke 15. It’s a narrative sermon that focuses not as much on the lost son, but more on the rest of the story...the older brother’s reaction.

    The Older Brother 2/24/2008 AM By Matt Stidham for the Whitewright Church of Christ I’d like to begin by telling you a story this morning. This story is a pretty common family story...while you’re listening to this story, some of you might be able to think of a family you know that could very ...read more

    A message that takes a look at the prodigal son parable from the perspective of the other son.

    (This message was preached at a United Service with Anglican’s & URC from our town - including my old College Principal!) Luke 15 : 11 - 32 Religious people criticized Jesus because he ate with sinners & so He told this story. A story so familiar to us who have been attending churches – yes? ...read more

    Think of this: what if the first person to meet the younger brother was the older brother. Think of the anger that would poured out his mouth: “You have a lot of nerve showing up here.”

    Today, we complete a three-week look at one of the most famous of all of Jesus’ teachings – The Parable of the Prodigal Son. This is a story that badly needs rescuing for many, if not most, stop the story when the younger son returns. But Jesus continues the story to an unfinished conclusion. This ...read more

    Have we as the Church become the older brother? Do we refuse to join the party, pointing to our service, sacrifices and sinlessness?

    THE OLDER BROTHER Farmer Joe was in a serious accident and decided to take the trucking company responsible for the accident to court. In court, the trucking company’s lawyer was questioning farmer Joe. "Didn’t you say, at the scene of the accident, ’I’m fine’?," ...read more

    Not women only, but all who are placed in the congregation of the Lord, are called to consider how to live so as to honour God.

    “As for you, teach what accords with sound doctrine. Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness. Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so ...read more
