THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME

THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME

Luke 15:17-23

Pastor Rick Jackson

I. THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE THE RIGHT KIND OF EARTHLY HOME [1 Tim. 5:4]

1. It is the first God-ordained Institution [Gen. 1:26-31]

2. It is the Best Opportunity to Spread the Gospel [Eph. 6:1-4]

3. It is the Best Earthly Picture of God and Heaven [Eph. 5:22-33]

II. THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE THE RIGHT KIND OF ECCLESIA/CHURCH HOME [1 Tm. 3:4-5, 15, 5:4]

1. It is a God-ordained Institution [Mt. 16:18] I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

2. It is a Gospel-oriented Institution [1 Corinthians 4:17]

3. It is a Golden-opportunity Institution [Philippians 4:15, 1 Cor. 16:1-2]

III. THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE THE RIGHT KIND OF ETERNAL HOME [Eccl. 12:5]

1. It is a Perfected Family [Eph. 5:27, Heb. 12:3]

2. It is a Preferred Family [Rom. 12:10]

3. It is a Personal Family [Jn. 14, 1 Corinthians 13:12]
