The images of Bible verses are created starting from the verses in the Basic English Bible and are made vailable freely for download and use. A link to our website is appreciated to let others know about this free image library. The Bible in Basic English was created in the 1940s by S.H. Hooke, an English language scholar. He wanted to make the Bible accessible to people with limited English, those learning it as a second language, and those with low literacy. To achieve this, he used a simplified vocabulary of just 850 common words, with minimal grammar. This made the text easier to understand, though some argue it loses some of the poetry and nuance of the original. Despite this, it has been praised for its clarity and continues to be used today by many, particularly in education and evangelism. Lausanne AB church is pleased to freely provide the images.

The Prodigal God : I would like to start by asking you a question but before asking you, here is first a little story. A good 10 years ago now, I had a discussion with my best friend who you probably know, Joël Hirschy. He was pastor of Action Biblique de Meinier and is now in Valais on a missionary project. What animated our discussion was the notion of grace. We found that there was a potential risk regarding grace of misusing it and being able to justify committing sins because in the end, God forgave us. We came to the conclusion that it was better to be more legalistic than under this grace with this fear of living as Dietrich Bonhöffer very well recalled, in his book “living as a disciple”, cheap grace . So I ask you the question: what do you think is the best position to adopt? Are we more inclined to set strict moral rules or live under a grace that ultimately allows us to live as we wish?

Parables #2: Will the one you reject precede you into eternity? : Grace, okay, but I'm worth it, even I'm "Vaud" well (in all respects: I work, I pay my taxes, no debts, I pay tithes and I go to worship every Sundays)… – “After all, I'm not like those who are in social services, on the hook for society after having done anything with their lives. – “There's no risk of them coming to pollute eternity, those ones! “Are you so sure? Their determination to seek God can be amazing. In any case God notices it and would like to see it in your life, that you can, like them, know repentance and the joy that is linked to it.

Parables #1: The one you reject has the same place as you (Gospel of Luke 15); Patrice Berger : Whether we admit it or not, we all have people we consider excluded by the hand that Jesus extends to each person. As these thoughts are common to all humans (collateral effect of our decline), God wanted to emphasize in the Bible, through Jesus, that His grace is accessible to each person who repents, without exception, without hierarchy...You can consult the Bible texts referenced in the sermon in the Bible Segond21 (S21) Gospel of Luke 15 or the Bible NEG 1979 Gospel of Luke 15 available online.Sermons/Bible studies are also available in :Audio: Podcast / Spotify video: The Parables#1: The one you reject has the same place as you ; see also the YouTube channel of the AB Lausanne-Renens church and the YouTube channel of the Action Biblique churches
