    When the prodigal returned he was given five very special gifts: they each symbolise what we have in Christ as believers.

    THE PRODIGAL SON Luke 15:11-32 And he said, A certain man had two sons: And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. Jesus was responding to the criticisms of the spiritual leaders of Israel. He had been eating with sinners. He did not ...read more

    The parable of the Prodigal Son is perhaps the most famous of all of the Lord’s parables. But are we truly understanding the full significance of this amazing message of love and mercy?

    “Homeward Bound” In the United States today, it is estimated that between one and two million teenagers run away from home every year. Of course, there are many different reasons why these children choose to leave their homes. Many are simply the products of very ...read more

    Sometimes it’s difficult to go home, but it is essential that we do so.

    Introduction: I want you to imagine for a moment that you have one chance to travel back in time and go back to relive part of your life. And suppose that when you go back, you know everything that you know now. You have all the understanding and the wisdom that you have developed over the years ...read more

    The Homecoming

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Sep 1, 2002
    based on 109 ratings
     | 28,790 views

    It is interesting to try and identify with the three characters in the story: 1. The prodigal. 2. The older son. 3. The father.

    I realize that I have recently preached on this passage of scripture, but I feel compelled to speak on it again. The reason is that while on vacation I picked up Henri Nouwen’s excellent book entitled: The Return of the Prodigal Son: A Story of Homecoming. It is one of those books that pulls you ...read more

    There are many "hurting" parents in the Christian community who have rebellious children. This is a message of agape love!

    Evangelist Carolyn Malaika Foster-Brooks THE MINISTRY OF S.A.R.A.H. in Lyons, GA. PRAYER: God, my Father above, I thank you right now for your undying love. Lord I am before You as a humble servant, yet bold enough to not be afraid of the Gospel of Your Son and my brother, Jesus Christ. God ...read more

    The Scope Of Grace Series

    based on 226 ratings
     | 31,264 views

    Many people consider it the greatest short story ever written because it speaks so truthfully to the human condition. It’s really the story of a father with two sons. One sinned when he left ­ the other sinned while staying home. We’re going to look at

    The Scope of Grace Since most of you are familiar with the story of the Prodigal Son, I thought I would read a different version of it ­ it’s called the “Prodigal Son in the Key of F.” Feeling footloose and frisky, a feather-brained fellow forced his father to fork over his farthings. Fast he ...read more

    Road Maps For A Far Country

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 24, 2003
    based on 9 ratings
     | 3,197 views

    For Father’s Day: Fathers who say "yes" to everything provide a road map to disaster; who keep their children at arm’s length point to alienation; but who may also go home themselves to lead their children home. (Maps were displayed)

    I have always liked maps. Any kind of map fascinates me. You can learn so much from a map. If it is a road map, you can find out how to get from here to there and back again. When I was in elementary school and the classroom got boring, like most kids, I would doodle. But while some kids ...read more

    Being Optimistic In A Pessimistic World

    based on 38 ratings
     | 15,706 views

    We live in a negative world. The Bible is full of positives. In the parable of the Prodigal Son & the Elder Brother, we see both optimism & pessimism.

    “Being Optimistic In A Pessimistic World” INTRODUCTION: There are many books on POSITIVE THINKING. The book “The Power Of Positive Thinking” by Norman Vincent Peale was required reading when I was a student at Trinity College. There are all kinds of “helps” out there to help us maintain a ...read more

    based on 40 ratings
     | 6,713 views

    Our God loves to party and His parties are lavish and extravagant and they satisfy to the very core of your being. God’s parties are for all people. God’s ultimate party will start on time and only those who are ready for it get to share in the joy.

    IT’S PARTY TIME Scripture: Luke 15: 11-32 1) “People are made to party” – that’s the word from Lorna Wing, the British counterpart to Martha Stewart in her book “Party Food”. • Lorna Wing is a professional party thrower and caterer who has been entertaining people of all stripes for over twenty ...read more

     | 3,702 views

    It may have been the criticism of the elder brother that drove the prodigal son away from home, but it was the love of the Father who brought him back!

    “The Kind of Church I want to be the Pastor of” Introduction: It seems the reason why the prodigal son left home might have been because of the attitude that his elder brother had towards him. What brought him home was the love of the Father. I do not want to frame my Church around the ...read more
