Homework: Read Matthew 21-24, Read Luther's Small Catechism pages 16-18 (The Creed)

In today's message, we explored the profound depth of God's grace and its transformative power in our lives. We delved into the parable of the Prodigal Son, highlighting the unconditional love of the father as a reflection of God's endless mercy towards us. This story teaches us about forgiveness and redemption, emphasizing that no matter how far we stray, God's arms remain open to welcome us back. We are encouraged to embrace this grace, not only receiving it but also extending it to others, thereby reflecting God's love in our actions and interactions. Through this, we are called to live lives that are forgiving, loving, and inclusive, mirroring the grace that has been so freely given to us.
