The Prodigal Son - Part 2 - Luke 15:8-32
February 26, 2025
One of the best loved stories in the Bible is the story of the Prodigal Son. It not only inspires us to change our perspective on those around us who don't live up to our expectations, but it reminds us of the wonderful forgiveness offered to us by God. Pastor Bill wraps up his look at this great parable today, and we invite you to follow along. Turn to Luke fourteen as we pick up the story with Pastor Bill.

Virtually every newspaper in America has a lost and found section. People lose and find everything from dogs and cats to wallets and cell phones. I once saw a “found” ad in a paper once saying a woman had found a lawn mower on her back porch! Today on Hope From the Word, Pastor Bill Luebkemann will bring us the conclusion of a message from Luke chapter fifteen about a different kind of ‘Lost & Found'. It has nothing to do with pets and possessions, and everything to do with lost souls and found, saved sinners. Among the parables that Jesus spoke in this section of scripture is the parable of the Prodigal Son. It's a well known and beautiful story of the absolute and complete love of a father for his wayward son. Join us in Luke fifteen as we join Pastor Bill…

Homelessness is a big problem in every part of the country and the world. But let's consider for a moment who the real homeless people are. Anyone who has not received salvation through Jesus Christ is truly “homeless”. Where will they go when they die? Salvation through Christ is available to everyone, from the richest billionaire to the poorest peasant. Jesus specializes in saving the lost, no matter where they are. Here's Pastor Bill with today's message from Luke fourteen…

We're glad you could be with us for Hope from the Word. As we continue our through-the-Bible series with Pastor Bill Luebkemann, we'll meet in Luke chapter fourteen. This particular chapter deals with something we still see today: legalism. The Pharisees thought they were pleasing God by following many rules and traditions. They appeared pious on the outside, but their hearts were far from Him. Jesus exposed their pride and sin. We need to be careful that we're following the heart of God, and not just man-made rules. Here's Pastor Bill with our study.

Many people have difficulty with prayer. Even people who have been Christians for a long time, can struggle with having a consistent and fruitful prayer life. We often allow life to bog us down or carry us along before we think of turning to the Lord in prayer. We hope that today is an opportunity for you to commit yourself to prayer once again. Are you worried that you don't know how to pray? We're concentrating on the Lord's Prayer next on Hope From the Word, as we continue our through-the-Bible series. In Luke chapter eleven, we'll learn how to pray effectively and there's no one better to teach us how than the Lord Himself. Here's Pastor Bill with the words of Jesus.

There is a story of a man who endured all the horrors of a Soviet prison camp. One day he was praying with his eyes closed when a fellow prisoner noticed him and said with ridicule, "Prayers won't help you get out of here any faster." Opening his eyes, he answered, "I do not pray to get out of prison but to do the will of God." Welcome once again to Hope From the Word with Bill Luebkemann. As we continue our journey through the Bible, Pastor Bill has us consider Luke chapter eleven and a section of scripture often referred to as the Lord's Prayer. The Lord's Prayer helps us to see the purpose of prayer and what sort of things we should pray for. Let's look at it now and learn from the words of Jesus.

As believers, we're asked to do some things that are not easy and often well outside our comfort zones. Things like witnessing, self-discipline, and developing a servant's heart. But, there's one area in particular that's especially difficult: loving our enemies! How in the world do we do that? Let's talk about that today on Hope From the Word with Bill Luebkemann, from Calvary Chapel of Marlton. Join us, if you can, in Luke, chapter six, as we hand the program back over to Pastor Bill.

During His earthly ministry, Jesus became well-known for doing things outside the norm. In our study of Mark nine today, we find Jesus teaching that the first shall be the last, and the last shall be the first.

We're glad you could join us for today's broadcast. If you have a Bible handy, turn to Mark nine now as we join Pastor Bill.

Pride has long been a serious problem in so many lives. You would think that it wouldn't affect the apostles, right? Think again. Just like us, they too experienced pride and ego issues. That will be brought to our attention next on Hope From the Word, the Bible-teaching ministry of Calvary Chapel of Marlton. In a message titled, Who is the Greatest? Pastor Bill Luebkemann takes us to the Gospel of Mark and we invite you to turn there now as he gets today's study underway.

Hello and welcome once again to Hope From the Word, the radio ministry of Calvary Chapel of Marlton. Pastor Bill Luebkemann is our teacher, and today we'll once again be discussing two things that go together, faith and healing. Faith, of course, is the cornerstone of our relationship with God. We are saved by faith in Jesus Christ as Savior. That faith can also lead to some other amazing things, as we'll see today. Here's Pastor Bill in Mark chapter seven…
