We open the Word of God to the Gospel of Matthew, the 28th chapter. And I shall read verses 1 to 10 and verses 16 to 20. In the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulcher. And, behold, there was a great …
For several Sunday evenings now we have been looking at the very familiar parable of the prodigal son, found in Luke chapter 15, beginning at verse 11. Our Lord is speaking, and he said, A certain man had two sons, and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods …
We open the Word of God to Luke chapter 15. We're going to be doing this for several Sunday evenings, examining the parable of the prodigal son.

Matthew chapter 5, verse 3, Blessed are the poor in Christ, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. When our Lord Jesus spoke the Beatitudes, which introduced the Sermon on the Mount, the multitudes around him and the disciples before him undoubtedly were shocked. Because everything our Lord says in …
