In Romans 3:12, the apostle Paul continues his list of indictments against humanity with a sobering claim: “All have turned aside.” That one phrase reveals the spiritual condition of every person: deliberate defiance, willful wandering, and increasing moral decay. In this episode, Stephen Davey explains how sin doesn't just happen to us. It's the path we choose. We avoid the truth, we redefine goodness, and we substitute spiritual imitation for genuine repentance. Whether it's the prodigal son feeding pigs or a modern culture redefining evil as good, the pattern hasn't changed. But neither has God's mercy. The truth hurts, but it also heals. This lesson prepares the way for understanding the beauty of salvation by helping you see just how far we've all gone from the path; and how far God has gone to bring us back.

I will defend them in their spiritual battles with the infernal enemy and I will protect them at every instant of their lives. 6. I will visibly help them at the moment of their death—they will see the face of their mother. 7. I have obtained this grace from my divine Son, that those who propagate this devotion to my tears and dolors will be taken directly from this earthly life to eternal happiness, since all their sins will be forgiven and my Son and I will be their eternal consolation and joy.

Lost… but Welcomed Home. This week's message looks at the Prodigal Son in Luke 15—a story of rebellion, regret, and amazing grace. We see a father's heart break as his son walks away, and then overflow with compassion when he returns. It's a picture of God's unconditional love—always ready to forgive, always ready to welcome us back, no matter how far we've wandered. It's never too late for a fresh start. Will you come home to Him?

In this standalone message, we will take a fresh look at a popular Bible story- the prodigal son. As we do, we will be challenged to evaluate our propensity to rebel against God and our predisposition of pride. We will remember that our hope, as always, is in Jesus. He pursues the undeserving and invites us to be free of unfulfillment and bitterness that would otherwise define our lives because of our sin.   Key Verses: Luke 15:11-32  

“I was a hopeless drug fiend now I'm a drugless hope fiend” -Darin Ashley “prodigal”: 1. Wastefully extravagant – spending money or resources recklessly, without care. 2. Lavishly generous – giving or spending on a grand scale (can be positive or negative depending on context). When the word prodigal is used, it typically brings to mind the thoughts of a son coming home after wasting all the riches he's been given. A lost one who's been wandering and now coming home. But there's two sides to the prodigal coin. On this weeks show, Kurt and Chad welcome the founder of Prodigal Ministries (https://prodigalky.org) John Chilton, Executive Director Scott Bartelt, and former client and now advocate Darin Ashley as they talk about the transitions from inside prison to outside prison, about what it means to be a prodigal son coming home to a prodigal Father who is lavish with His grace and love.

Rock bottom isn't just a destination—it's a decision point. In this vulnerable and powerful message from "The Prodigal" series, Pastor shares his personal journey from fraternity life to faith transformation, revealing how one bad decision can snowball into a complete mess. From garage projects gone wrong to NASA's $327 million mistake, this teaching will help you understand that realization without return keeps you stuck—but there's hope for anyone ready to take the journey home. Whether you're struggling with marriage, finances, career, or faith—this message is packed with honesty, hope, and a clear roadmap out. God's not just offering you His stuff. He's offering you Himself. Scripture Reference: Luke 15:14-19 Big Idea: Rock bottom can be the pit you stay in or the platform God launches you from. Key Quote: "Realization without a return to the father leaves us stuck at the bottom. Realization is not enough to change our life. It's the return that changes it." ⸻ Topics in this Message: Why one bad decision always compounds into more The blessing that only comes when you hit rock bottom Personal testimony: From January 15th, 1997 to transformation Three essential steps: Desperation, Humility, and Resolve Why complaining about circumstances won't change them How to stop getting stuck on realization and start returning The difference between courage and grit in life change +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday.

exploring Luke 13 through 15 seeing how this Gospel relates to the Prodigal son story.

Chasing after things that promise fulfillment but leave you empty? You're not alone. In this powerful message that kicks off our new series "The Prodigal," Pastor explores the timeless story of the prodigal son and reveals how to recognize the mirages in our own lives. From Wile E. Coyote cartoons to life-changing biblical truth from Luke 15, this teaching will help you stop chasing empty promises and start asking the right questions. Whether you're wrestling with disappointment, confusion, or wondering if God is really who He says He is—this message is packed with hope, grace, and practical wisdom. God's not just offering you His stuff. He's offering you Himself. Scripture Reference: Luke 15 Big Idea: Empty promises aren't just disappointments—they're invitations to something greater. Key Quote: "We ask God to do things in our life, but instead of trusting the Father for the outcome, we get upset when it doesn't happen the way we thought it should." ⸻ Topics in this Message: • Recognizing the mirages we chase in life • The difference between religious people and Jesus people • Why asking "what" instead of "why" changes everything • Understanding that you were made for more than this world • How God's grace meets us where we are • Finding fulfillment in relationship, not religion +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday.

Today I‘m sitting down with Craig Wroblewski, president of Lifestones Ministries, to talk about two difficult issues so many families are facing: struggling marriages and the heartbreak of prodigal or estranged children. As we dig into Psalm 127, we explore the spiritual battle surrounding our homes, the value of discipleship, how to restore communication and connection in marriage, and what it means to persevere in prayer when our children walk away from us—or from the Lord.

7/27/25 - Before the Canada team comes home, "The Prodigal" returns to the Sr High ;) Rick comes back to a brand new Sr High to deliver a message on Josiah, the culture that likely challenged him, and how that culture is very similar to the challenging environment that our youth face right now.

Top Ten from 2024: #1 Stories Series: Prodigal and Redemption with Renee Endress   **Transcription of original episode**  237. Stories Series: Prodigal and Redemption with Renee Endress   Isaiah 61:1-3 (KJV) "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified."   Questions and Topics We Cover: Will you tell us a bit about your experience of surrendering your life to Christ? Will you share your journey with your prodigal daughter, Andrea? Will you tell us about Grace Catering and your cookbooks?   Renée Endress is blessed to be the mother of seven children ranging from 16-32 years old, all of whom she homeschooled. Four of the seven are married and her six precious grandchildren bring her much joy and laughter! She is also part of a church family she loves and her dear parents passed on to her a love of sunsets, flowers, and the beauty of God's creation.   Cooking has been a passion for much of her life and she's written three cookbooks, which were later combined into one large book. For the past ten years, she enjoyed catering, which kept growing and eventually blossomed into an almost full-time job. A couple years ago, she refurbished a building in Peoria, Illinois, which is now her catering kitchen where they make homemade take and bake meals for people to purchase. Through it all, God has been so good!   Renée says, "I could share just the pretty parts of my life, but I've come to realize that something special can happen when people are real with each other -- when we share the muddy parts of our lives as well as the lovely parts. This can be used to encourage each other on the journey, and most of all, to point to the faithfulness of our amazing Savior, who loves to redeem our mud stories.   My story looks much different than my idealistic hopes for my future as a young woman, but through it all, God has been faithful every single step of the way. He was faithful in teaching me as an immature newlywed struggling through some very difficult relationship situations. He was faithful as I walked, tripped, and floundered with a daughter through some very dark teenage years, deep rebellion, ten months at a residential facility for troubled teens, and a teenage pregnancy. He was oh, so faithful when my difficult marriage of twenty-four years turned more and more destructive and led to an ongoing separation. He was faithful two years later when I was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent two surgeries and radiation treatments. He has been faithful through ten years of "single" motherhood. He was faithful as He opened doors for me to start a thriving catering business at the perfect time. He was faithful when He allowed me to be a part of starting "Beauty for Ashes," a group for women from my national church who have come from painful marriages. As I look back on my life, I see plainly His footprints all the way through.   These verses have been so meaningful in my life: "...He hath sent me (Jesus) to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound... to comfort all that mourn... to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He might be glorified."

Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.”   Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“   Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“   Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

Pastor Kirk Graham preached from 1 John 3 with a clear call: you can't run with the world and walk with God. As children of God, we're not called to tolerate sin; we're called to eradicate it. Sin is deadly and Jesus came to take it away. It's time to live like we belong to God, set apart, purified, and fully His.

He received his B.A. from Yale University in 1986, then his M.F.A. in screenwriting and fiction and his Ph.D. in English in 1996 from Louisiana State University. He has been Press Secretary to pro-life Louisiana Governor Mike Foster, and a reporter and editor at Success magazine and Investor's Business Daily, among other publications.

He is co-author with Jason Jones of “God, Guns, & the Government.”   John Zmirak's latest book: No Second Amendment, No First  by John Zmirak  Available March 19, 2024 Today's Left endlessly preaches the evils of “gun violence." It is a message increasingly echoed from the nation's pulpits, presented as common-sense decency and virtue. Calls for “radical non-violence” are routinely endowed with the imprimatur of religious doctrine.   But what if such teachings were misguided, even damaging? What if the potential of a citizenry to exercise force against violent criminals and tyrannical governments is not just compatible with church teaching, but flows from the very heart of Biblical faith and reason? What if the freedoms we treasure are intimately tied to the power to resist violent coercion?  This is the long-overdue case John Zmirak makes with stunning clarity and conviction in No Second Amendment, No First. A Yale-educated journalist and former college professor, Zmirak shows how the right of self-defense against authoritarian government was affirmed in both the Old and New Testaments, is implied in Natural Law, and has been part of Church tradition over the centuries.   --------------------------------------------------------------------  Check out our ACU Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/ACUPodcast   HELP ACU SPREAD THE WORD!  Please go to Apple Podcasts and give ACU a 5 star rating.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that the older son in this parable was angry that his younger brother was restored. He didn't realize his behavior was just as rebellious, refusing to defend his father's love and mercy towards his youngest.
