At FirstNLR, we want to make it easy for people to come back to Jesus. We want our words, actions, and attitude to open the door for prodigals to become life-long followers. To do that, we must make the path home easy for people to follow.

This message continues our Come Home series. Together, we look at the obstacles that keep people from coming home and the path that leads them back. This is an important message for you and the prodigals you are praying for.

What really happens when someone runs from God? In this message, we explore Jesus’ parable of the Prodigal Son and uncover the predictable pattern that follows spiritual rebellion. From leaving the safety, security, and blessing of home to facing loss, shame, and isolation—this teaching walks through every stage of what it looks like to turn away from God.

This message reveals the dangers of running—and the hope that comes when someone and decides to return. Easter is a reminder that no distance is too great and no failure too big. The Father is waiting. The door is open.

You often hear me say, "Blessing follows obedience." Obedience in your finances, marriage, ministry, and workplace will lead to God's blessing in your life. Sadly, many people discover the opposite principle is just as true - consequences follow disobedience.

In this message, we finish looking at David's epic failure. After a painful cover-up, David foolishly thought he got away with sin. When his sin was revealed and David faced the consequences of his actions, incredible life change took place! You will discover God offers grace even when you fail.

Have you ever felt unseen? Like your prayers go unnoticed and your situation is too far gone? In the story of Bartimaeus (Mark 10:46-52), we’re reminded that no one is invisible to God. A blind beggar sitting on the side of the road, overlooked by everyone else, caught the attention of Jesus with just one thing—his faith.

What miracle or impossibility have you given up on?

This message is a call to believe again. Because God always has the last word, not your circumstances, not your past, and not what others say. Bartimaeus didn’t let the crowd silence him—and neither should you. Faith is the only thing that can move the mountains in your life.

In this message, we explore how one man’s bold cry to Jesus led to a life-changing miracle—and how your faith can do the same.
