The Christmas story is incredible! The child lying in the manger was the Son of God born of a virgin. Incredible but not impossible. Nothing is impossible with God. Why? Because He is Mighty God! (Isaiah 9:6; Luke 1:30-37)

What makes the Counselor so Wonderful? He knows everything, he cares about us, he fully understands us, and he tells it like it is. As his people, we should gladly receive his counsel and faithfully follow, because Jesus knows best. (Isaiah 9:6)

The main character in the Christmas story is Jesus. There is something about his name, about him? Something that intrigues us. Something that draws us. Something that compels us to want to believe him and follow him and love him and worship him. (Isaiah 7:14; Isaiah 9:6-7; Philippians 2:9-11)

Although we can all identify with both sons, Jesus tells this story to introduce us to the real hero - the loving father. And he is telling us that when we are lost or on a spiritual detour, the way home comes through connecting with the Father's heart. (Luke 15:11-32)

In this story, Jesus tells us why he hung out with "wild living" sinners as well-as "proud" religious people. Because both were lost. The younger son realized it. The older son, well, we don't know if he ever did. What about you? (Luke 15:25-32)

Have you ever been lost or taken a spiritual detour in your life? Have you ever longed for home? In this parable, Jesus tells us how to get back home? And also what God offers to prodigals like us. (Luke 15:11-24)

Jesus' parable warns us about becoming a fool with a covetous heart. He teaches that success, satisfaction and security in life is not measured by the accumulation of earthly assets or achievements. Rather it is measured by our richness toward God. (Luke 12:13-34)
