Part of our series, You turn to Joy, that delves deeper into the parables in Luke 15. This part of the series looks at the first part of the parable of the Prodigal Son. This story speaks of God's fierce love for us and our own brokenness.

Due to some technical difficulties the first few minutes of the sermon's audio is not available, therefore this audio recording starts about 5 minutes into the sermon. We apologize for the inconvenience. We all want to have more joy in our lives! But joy is different from happiness because it often comes at the end of suffering or struggles. In this message on the parable of the Lost sheep in Luke 15:3 - 7, there is a struggle going on. The "sinners" are drawing near to hear Jesus and the religious in the crowd are grumbling. Jesus want to lead both groups of sinners to more joy. So He tells them a parable about the nature of God's love for us all as sinners.

Do not be anxious you are not forgotten and God cares for you!

This message on Luke 21:20-28 where Jesus foretells the destruction of Jerusalem is inspired by the words of Jeremiah where he prophesizes to the people about the coming destruction they are about to face because they are not listening to God.

God makes a promise to his people in Jesus words that ultimately we will be protected. Not a hair on our head will perish. But that does not mean that there will not be hard times for his people. In this message we look at the context of Jesus words and what it means for us today.

In today's text Jesus is revealing to His disciples and the other people that are listening that they need to be stones of faith not impressed by the stones of a religious or political system.

Jesus sees how generous we are, he is paying attention. In this message we learn what Jesus wants from our generosity, not just in what we give but in how we give it.

In this message we look at Jesus and see what someone who is not a hypocrite does to have a gospel conversation. Jesus is teaching us that the way out of hypocrisy requires us thinking about the truth of God's Word.

In this message we look at Elijah and how he demonstrates unwavering faith and obedience to God's instructions and boldness in challenging the prohpets of Baal, and how we can apply this in our own lives.
