Jesus wasn’t very popular with religious folks, but the drunks, the hookers, and the traitors flocked to him. In fact, what drove the religious folks nuts about Jesus was how he hung out with all those sinners. Join Zach Van Dyke for this three-part series in Luke 15 and you’ll see that Jesus is still befriending sinners today.

Jesus’ parable of the prodigal son is one of his most famous stories. Many sermons use it to implore the lost to come home to our forgiving Father. But remember, there are two sons in the story. The older brother never left the Father’s house…and he was a pretty uptight guy. Watch this message from Zach Van Dyke and you’ll see that Jesus is showing us how religious people can be lost without ever leaving home.

How do we know our sins are forgiven? How can we have confidence that we really are children of God? You need the doctrine of assurance! Got 90 seconds? Check out this short video from Dr. Ryan Reeves, Assistant Professor of Historical Theology at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.

One of the truest things ever said about Jesus came from the mouth of an uptight, grumbling, religious professional…“This man welcomes sinners.” Of course that was meant as an accusation, not praise. It’s hard for those who are very “good” to hear the good news, but those who have lost their way rejoice. Join Zach Van Dyke for part 2 of his three-part series in Luke 15:1-32. See what Jesus reveals about the heart of God when he tells the story of the lost coin in response to the charge that he hangs out with the worst of the worst.
