Coming to yourself is a great gift! But many of us have to go through great pain to finally get there. Often it causes a lot of pain to others in our lives before we get there. The message Come to yourself is part of the series, You Turn to Joy, that delves deeper into the parables of Luke 15. In this message we specifically look at the Prodigal son parable in Luke 15:17 - 24, when the prodigal son realizes that he needs to go back to the Father.

People say seeing is believing! But it is much more complicated. We must see enough to overcome our doubts to believe. Actually we don't have to physically see something to believe it, for example we do not have to see the wind to believe that it exists. We see the effects of the wind, but we never really see the wind, yet we know it exists. In this Easter message we look at the resurrection in John 20: 1 - 18 and we see three of Jesus' close friends and disciples that had doubts about the resurrection. Each had to see more until they believed.

Palm Sunday Message on the story of Jesus coming into town on the back of a donkey in Matthew 21. In this message we think of ourselves as the donkey that Jesus has need of. We learn from God's word how we can be faithfully untied as a donkey to be of service to Him.

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.

This is the first part of our series You turn to Joy that looks deeper into the parables and teachings of Jesus in Luke 15. Luke speaks of 4 groups of lost people, the sinners, the tax collectors, the Pharisees and the scribes. Everyone might have thought that some of those groups like the Pharisees and the scribes are those near to God and some of the other groups may be far from God. But it was the sinners and the tax collectors that were drawing near to Jesus and listening to His message.
