The Father-ness of God

The Father-ness of God

A bewildered human race is like a man lost in a forest asking, “Father, are you there?” In 1945, at the end of World War 2, Helmut Thielicke, a brilliant theologian, preaching through the Lord’s Prayer to what was left of his congregation in the ruins of his church in Stuttgart said, “Everything will be all right so long as we hear His good voice calling to us above the howling of the wolves, above the sound of branches snapping, above the ominous noises around us. God is always there.” To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/508/29?v=20251111

Fathers

Fathers aren’t taken too seriously in modern society. Sitcoms and the silver screen in particular often paint the family’s most prominent man as a clumsy, bumbling stooge. Fatherhood according to Scripture, however, is a high calling worthy of all diligence, seriousness, and respect.In this message, Stuart course-corrects our culture’s view of fathers and fatherhood, showing how God intends men to bless their families as catalysts of love, learning, and spiritual maturity.

Lost and Found

A parable is defined as an earthly story with a heavenly meaning. And the parable of the prodigal son found in Luke 15 may be one of the most famous parables in Scripture. The story of the prodigal son is about God losing something very precious and sending His son, Jesus, to get it back. This is God’s world, and He wants it back!
