The Older Lost Faithful Son
Yeah...this son is lost even more. Way more lost. Because he doesn't know he's lost. Does this son repent or does he kill the father? History has written the ending of this story.
Resolve to Flee Legalism
The Jesus of Matthew 23 is not the Jesus that we see in paintings and kids story books. This Jesus is filled with a righteous anger toward, not the prostitutes and sinners, but the religious people.

Word Wars
Well let's open our Bibles this morning as we continue our study through an epistle that the Holy Spirit inspired through the apostle Paul just days before he was beheaded by the Roman Emperor Nero b/c Paul is one of the leading Christians of the day who refused to embrace every ick, ism and spasm found throughout the Greek culture ... who could not bow at the Roman altar of pluralism which involved acknowledging Caesar as Lord ... who offended his former Jewish associates by insisting that the reconciliation of man was not found through religious sacrament but through the atoning work of Christ alone ... who as God ... satisfied the just wrath of God for sin ... and as a Man without sin reconciled men of every tongue, tribe and nation who are born again in Him by grace ... through faith in His finished work of redemption. So these are the last words of the apostle Paul on earth. If you only had a short time to live ... what would you say to those ... you loved the most ... knowing you were about to die?
