Luke 17:20-37 invites us to live in a constant state of readiness, letting go of worldly attachments and embracing a life focused on God's Kingdom. Jesus teaches that the Kingdom of God is not something far off or merely future; it begins within us now.  

Let’s commit ourselves to deeper spiritual awareness and preparation. Take time this week to: 

In Luke 17:11-19, Jesus teaches us about the significance of gratitude through the healing of ten lepers, proving how thankfulness can transform our hearts and lives.

Jesus has very specific, and sometimes very hard, instructions on how we are to forgive one another and restore relationship with each other. It requires faith that is rooted in Him to be able to follow His Word more every day.

GAL RICH MAN and LAZARUS Luke 16:19-31

"You only live once", is a phrase that encourages people to:

It suggests that life is short and finite, so it's important to live fully, be adventurous, and not let opportunities pass by. Some interpret "You only live once" as a call to act impulsively or indulge in pleasures without considering long-term consequences, while others see it as a reminder to live with purpose, mindfulness, and intention. The phrase invites reflection on how we prioritize our time, decisions, and relationships, knowing that we only have one life to live.

Hebrews 9:27 27 

Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,

There are no excuses that will limit what God desire to do and can do in your life!

This is not an easy topic to talk about because it is particularly painful and devastating and at the very same time, it is a needful topic to talk about because I am very sure, in your life, in your family, among your colleagues, among your friends, there will be people who have experienced divorce and are going through the pains of divorce. Why?

MARRIAGE IS A MAN AND A WOMAN WITH SIN NATURES DOING SOMETHING HOLY.

Today, I would like for us to study a church that went viral, a New Testament congregation that grew by leaps and bounds. I am referring to the church in the ancient city of Antioch, and the first reference to the church in that city is found in Acts 11:19-30.

The congregation “went viral”. From secular history, we are told that by the time of the Nicene Council in 325 AD, there were more than 200,000 Christians in the city of Antioch alone. The hand of the Lord was with them. These are things that we can still do today.

God can still use a church like the church in Antioch. We can do every single one of these things this week right here in the Pembina Valley. We can go out the doors of this building, and we can show Jesus to somebody today.

The Bible speaks about finances more than you might think. Jesus explains how we are to utilize the wealth found in the world to further His Kingdom and store up eternal reward.

JESUS INVITES MAN’S EXCLUDED TO BECOME HIS INCLUDED

Today’s parable is a familiar one. The parable of the Prodigal Son, or the Lost Son. Where Luke 15:1-10 depicts Jesus as the seeking of the lost, Luke 15:11-32 depict Jesus as the receiver of the lost. He welcomes the one who comes to Him in search of redemption, security and hope.

JESUS RECEIVES THOSE WHO SEEK.

WHY DOES THIS MATTER?

This matters because when we understand this, we have a few conclusions:

Hebrews 4:16

Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Luke 6:36

Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

Galatians 6:1

Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted.

The Parable of the Prodigal Son tells the story of a young man who demands his inheritance from his father and leaves home to live a reckless life. After wasting all his money, he falls into poverty and returns home, humbly seeking forgiveness. His father, overjoyed at his return, welcomes him with open arms and throws a feast to celebrate. Meanwhile, the older brother, who stayed and worked faithfully, feels resentful. The father explains that it is right to celebrate because the lost son has been found and returned home safely.

In these parables God is revealing both His desire to reach those He loves that are lost as well as highlighting his active seeking to bring people into Biblical community. It is so good that God seeks us to save us and bring us into His family. Many of us are familiar with these parables.

The Lost Sheep, The Lost Coin and the Prodigal Son are parables that share something of the character of God. We will highlight the Prodigal Son parable next week.
