Parables: Stories for Life- Pt. 5

This sermon challenges one of the most common assumptions about one of Jesus’ most famous parable. What if the story of the Prodigal Son isn’t really about the prodigal son at all? In this message from Luke 15, discover why both brothers—the rebellious younger son and the rule-keeping older son—are actually more alike than they appear, and how pride can separate us from God whether we are living in the far country or sitting in the church pew. Through a fresh look at this familiar passage, you’ll uncover the surprising heart of a Father who pursues both the openly broken and the outwardly religious. If you’ve ever wrestled with guilt, resentment, self-righteousness, or wondered whether God’s grace is really for someone like you, this message may help you see yourself in the story—and, more importantly, see the faithful, forgiving Father who is inviting you home.
