I am absolutely wrecked. I am weeping. Voddie thank you for being obedient to preaching this word . I love God and have been saved since a young age, but have struggled being works based and doubting the security of my salvation. I am humbled, convicted, repentant, and praising God for his mercy and grace.❤

[@gfbc1689]

Amen. Thanks for listening

[@theeternalslayer]

A simple fix in the new testament for that is you are a slave for christ and work for him at every job you go to 😊 if I'm not obedient towards my bosses the lord rebukes me lol but their is work in faith and just common work, works of faith are always to glorify God, you honor God with your daily work. So either way you're passively submitting to God's will and active in his will. Once saved always saved is what prevents me from getting that fear, but fear of losing your salvation is a good thing it means you don't want to seperate from god. The lord tested me I got rebuked and had to journey in the spirit through hell but Jesus stopped me and said "if this was your final destination what would you do?" I just said "I'd still serve you and love you." And I found out he showed me that place to help deliver my cousin from demonic harassment and a same sex attraction. Just remember God adopted you, he's patient with us and he will always choose us we owe it to him to always choose him ❤.

Amen amen amen

[@garycooper7940]

Every single message I have heard from Voddie has touched my heart, and a few have cut to the bone (refinement by fire is the best way, right?) I have prayed for you and your family, my Brother in Christ. God can raise the dead, give sight to the blind, and your ailment is no match for the hand of God. You are loved.

[@gfbc1689]

Praise God for His word

[@jonathansanon157]

This is exactly how I feel thank you for speaking truth. Voddie makes you think. That is God's providence.

[@chilliewillie5847]

I’m speechless! Convicted! I’ve heard this text preached many times however, never this way! And I’m a pastor! Thank you Dr. Baucham for preaching the truth. God owes us nothing. He has given us everything in Jesus Christ! May God continue to keep you!

[@SinWillFindYouOut]

He actually owes us death.

[@Lonesoul9791]

Wow. I have a whole new understanding of this parable now. I’m fully blown away by the truth shown here today.

[@mikehowell2936]

I went to comment on this but it was exactly the same as you. I have never heard "The prodigal son" preached from this prospective and I now have a better understanding of this parable. Thanks Voddie!

[@wanjirunganga-gichuhi876]

This message is deep

[@wangag2663]

Every sermon by Voddie opens up an area of sin in my life. Am soo guilty of big brother’s sin in the worst ways. Am always complaining of why dint God give me same skills and abilities like others such as creativity, artistic abilities or ability to learn quickly, these things hv bn so paralyzing for me to a point where I don’t want to do anything. Am crying right now. Everything feels soo hopeless and pointless. Then I hear of other’s struggles with sickness or other bigger issues and mine look pale by comparison. I pray that God will continue to strengthen Voddie to preach these truths and that many people will be helped thru them

[@carlburbank8473]

I am the the old son with my dad he was mean and I did everything he ask of me, he hollered at me all day and night. I was submissive to him, he thought me how to be a servant. In the end he was dying my wife brought him back to life, told my wife i was no good for her, then said he love her. He took me out of the will which I was fine with! I was the one on his death bed praying for him to repent in Jesus! I forgive him. What you did was show how I was the older son! I knew in my spirit there was something to this old son couldn't understand till today! Thank you for blessing my wife and I with this sermon. Be healed in Jesus names we pray!

[@PillarOfGrace]

God bless you Voddie. Your preaching has been a blessing in my life. I pray for a speedy recovery.

[@gfbc1689]

So glad!

[@monteljackson990]

What a marvelous shift in perspective! So many times I find myself trying to draw closer to God because of what I can gain instead of doing it because Christ loves me. I pray my mind and heart be changed. Amen.

Thank you so much for the bravery of preaching the true word. Very few preachers are willing to go past the younger brother to tell the rest of the story. God bless you!

[@gfbc1689]

You are very welcome

[@jeepsishumate2021]

truth is preachers are obeying God and do not change or add to gods word.

[@tinachege8061]

This left me speechless 😢. The number of times I have looked to self instead of looking to God... The number of times I have felt like I deserved God's blessings instead of realising that His blessings are from His mercy and grace towards me... The number of times I have murmured instead of giving praise to Jesus. Forgive me Lord. Such a wonderful and timely message

[@janehoward1584]

Pastor Voddie. Thank you for this most original & provocative interpretation of the 3 parables, ending with the prodigal son. Of course, we need to remember to whom Jesus is/was speaking to understand the deeper meaning. I hope that this sermon is spread around the world to wake up the pastors, the evangelists & all parents. The quiet, compliant, rules-based child needs Jesus too. Praying that the Lord heals your kidneys & blood pressure without medication. "Nothing is impossible with God".

[@gfbc1689]

Praise God for His word

[@Travis_Manu_Blessed_by_GOD]

I'm in WA state, I know i missed the times VB came out here, I Hope I can see Voddie preach in person and shake his hand one day! The LORD used him to change my life and my mind in a great way since i first stumbled on his older KZbin videos on Biblical Manhood, Brokenness and many more. I've seen them all back in 2010, It's a Blessing to see his ministry and content multiply. I pray for his continued health and his family In Zambia and U.S.

[@asmitashaw5602]

Thank you for a God given sermon.Helped me to understand that the parable of the prodigal is also for the elder brother. One who thinks he is righteous and that he has not done any of the things his younger brother has done but forgetting to check his own heart that has been corrupt.

[@sifushan]

I remember a story someone told me once that was so poignant: there was a man that was so weary carrying his cross, so he went to the church. He met the pastor and told him, "my cross is so heavy can I trade mine for another that is easier to carry?" The pastor took his cross and told the man to follow him to a room. In the room was hundreds of crosses of varied sizes and said, "pick any cross you'd like to trade." The man walked around and found one he thought looked easy to carry and said, "I'll take this one." "Are you sure?", asked the pastor. "Yes.", said the man. The pastor smiled and the man was confused, "why do you smile?" The pastor said, "that is the cross you came here with. Compared to others' problems, yours is not so heavy. Go and live well." The man left feeling surprised and glad knowing his life was better than he thought. I hope that anybody reading this is blessed by it, because if you live by comparing you'll never be satisfied. God bless you. Thank you, Pastor Voddie for teaching us.

"We read The Bible like we read the year book" That was very, very good. I'm coming back around in life, and realizing how far away from God I have put myself and let temptations get into me...

Thanks for listening

[@carlavornheder8460]

Years ago, I saw that I was like the elder brother. I tried to be more like the prodigal, but I am so arrogant. I prayed that God would make me more like the prodigal than the older brother. That prayer and others like it years ago have taught me who I am. I have been in psychologist offices since I was 14, 41 years ago. I call the thought life between psychology and religion no-man's-land. The resulting confusion has caused me not to easily subscribe to anything I hear. I am 55 now. If I had kids, I would encourage them not to believe that the way to God is simple or easy. Study Matthew 7. The gate is narrow and the way hard. If it starts to seem easy or comfortable, look carefully to find what God has in mind to teach you. Lately I have been trying to quit bragging. I need to share what I learn with Jesus alone most of the time. That is really hard.
