Sermons About Prodigal-son
The Father's Love
Since we are honoring all the fathers, many of us can praise God because He has blessed us with great fathers who have done their best to provide us with all the love and care we needed growing up. On the other hand, I also recognize that there may be some here who are finding it difficult to rejoice because they did not have positive experiences with their earthly fathers. They probably have fathers who were abusive to them in their disciplines leaving them with deep emotional pains, or those absentee fathers who were never there to help them out growing up. If this is who you are, I hope I can encourage you to look up to your Heavenly Father and rejoice on Him having filled the place of your earthly father. I’m sure He was able to supply you with all the love and attention you needed in life.

The Parable of the Two Lost Sons
You are familiar with what is historically known as the parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32). But it is really the parable of the two lost sons, and their prodigal father. Come and learn: the Gospel is not religion.

What's Really Important
Last week, the leadership shared some accomplishments of the last couple years, as well as some of the challenges in the relatively short history of HOPE CCM. In this message, we continue our journey as we look at several parables that directly impact our focus moving forward. The three parables are: The Parable of the Lost Sheep; The Parable of the Lost Coin, and The Parable of the Prodigal Son. (Luke Chapter 15)

Easter 2009 - Real Hope
There are two truths about human beings that matter deeply. First, we are all broken people. Second, we are all God’s broken people. Easter is the miracle that shows us how these two truths fit together. Our brokenness is undeniable – physical brokenness, emotional brokenness, spiritual brokenness, societal brokenness, universal brokenness. Our brokenness cost us humans the perfect home where God’s provision and protection and presence reigned freely, but Jesus came to set things right. Jesus was broken for our brokenness, and he became homeless to bring us home. What more could you want than to enjoy the provision and protection and presence of God forever? Easter is your invitation to come home to God. Special Thanks to the following for ideas used in this sermon: Yancey Arrington, Tim Keller, C.S. Lewis, John Ortberg, Cornelius Plantinga, Jr., Charles Spurgeon, Bruce Wesley, Phillip Yancey.

No Longer Lost
We lose things all the time; our keys, a matching sock, a receipt etc, but what happens when we become lost. In this sermon, Paul reminds us that we all experience times in "the land of the lost;" times of Spiritual wandering plagued by doubts. But the God who made us reveals Himself in Scripture to be like a Father who chooses to love His children, even when we, like prodigal sons and daughters, choose to go our own way. In fact, God is more interested in a relationship with us than He is in being right.

This Beautiful Mess - Everyone Pursues
The kingdom compels us to pursue it. Jesus tells a parable about a prodigal son that exposes the rebellion of the younger son and the strict religious rules keeping of the older brother both as manipulative ways to get what they wanted. Keeping this in mind, we discuss how one lives a life of faith and the role of our Sunday morning gatherings.
