Luke 15.11-32: Resurrection (Easter)
Thank God for Easter. It is on this day we remember the resurrection of Jesus. He suffered and died on the cross on Friday and was in the grave for three days. On the third day He raised from the grave. Today we thank for God for the resurrection. We are all in need of resurrection. To be resurrected is to be raised up. It is to be taken from one reality to a new reality. It is to be changed from the earthly to the heavenly. It is to be raised from life to death. We are all in need of this. Do you believe this?

Luke 15.20-24: The Father's Love (Good Friday)
What if you had been a long way from home for awhile? How would you feel if nobody missed you? If nobody was concerned waiting for you at home? How would you feel if you knocked on the door and nobody answered at home? On this Good Friday we see the Father's love for those who are a long way from home.

Luke 15.25-32: The Big I
Last week we saw the loose living of the younger son. This week we see the condemnation of the older son toward his younger brother. Just as the younger son broke his father's heart the older son will do the same by his duty bound relationship. May the church not be like this. May we sit with sinners at the table, so that we are invited one day to the wedding feast.

Luke 15.11-19: Son or Slave
This week we look at the last of three parables. It is traditionally referred to as the parable of the prodigal son. If we are honest with ourselves we are all the prodigal. We all have eyes for the distant land. The question for us all is do we ever come home? The prodigal chose the distant land and therefore chose slavery. He gave up sonship. He finally wakes up to his situation and condition. He begins to realize what he has done. Thought he begins to change his change is simply to survive. He does not fully realize the nature of his sin. He has broken the heart of his father and denied sonship. He must be willing to receive his father's love and forgiveness. We must do the same.

Luke 15.1-10: Lost and Found
Today we begin to look at three parables found in Luke 15. During this talk we examine the first two parables that Jesus addresses to the Pharisees. We see the heart of Jesus in these stories. He desires for all to be restored to a relationship with God. Jesus is willing to bear the burden of restoration. He is on a mission to restore that which is lost, that it would found!
