In the second half of this story Jesus focuses on the older brother. You will either identify with the prodigal son or you will identify with the older brother, who didn’t share his father’s joy at his brother’s return. In this message we’ll look at the resentment, complaints and spirit of judgment from the older brother. God longs for a church where prodigal sons can come home, and people inside the church embrace them.

Next Steps

I will let go of resentment and start to forgive.

I will make a call/meet with someone to extend forgiveness.

I will learn to rejoice with people who rejoice.

I will confess the judgmental spirit in my heart toward others.

I will reflect the heart of the father in this story.
