Sermons About Son
The Prodigal God
Dr. Coffield would like to suggest that a more fitting title for the story of the prodigal son would be "The Prodigal God". The word prodigal means lavish, extravagant and "over the top". The person who appears to take over the story with their lavish and extravagant behavior is not the son, but the father. This story, in the midst of that culture would have broken many social norms, but the father's love went beyond that.

The Porch Light's On
"Home…" At it's very best, "home" is a place we all long for…a place that is safe…a place we are unconditionally loved…a place we can let our hair down and know that we will not offend….a state of being…secure…safe…at ease…."home". So many in our day have not experienced this kind of "home" in growing up, nor have they understood the offer of "home" that our heavenly Father extends to us. Instead of seeing a loving Father waiting at the door, they have feared an angry God. But the New Testament paints a much different picture of God – and maybe its an image you need to embrace. The image of the porch light being left on at night…the picture of a daddy worried sick as He waits for His runaway child to come home. The truth is, we are ALL runaways in our own way. Some of us have begun the journey home, others still need to turn around…but ultimately we walk the same path. Maybe it's time you headed for home. The porch light is on…the door is unlocked…the family is waiting! Key Passage: Luke 15:11-31

Father, Son, Holy Spirit
Mark is a master of saying much with few words, and in this passage he emphasizes both the total humanity of Jesus and the total divinity of Jesus. Jesus, as a man, was a carpenter from Nazareth. As the second member of the Trinity, however, Jesus is the Son, the Beloved of his Father. God became man in Jesus in order to reverse the effects of the fall and to welcome us back into the community of the Trinity!
