In Luke 15, the prodigal son goes to a far country, but the bigger journey is the one back home. This sermon frames forgiveness as returning from a F.A.R. country: Forgiveness, Accountability, and Reconciliation. We’ll walk through what it means to release vengeance without pretending the offense didn’t matter, how Jesus teaches us to address sin with truth and love, and when reconciliation is possible after repentance. Along the way we connect the parable of the prodigal son with Matthew 18, Luke 17, Ephesians 4:32, and the cross of Christ, where God removes sin farther than east from west. If you’ve been stuck in resentment, afraid of being hurt again, or unsure how to forgive without enabling, this lesson gives clear biblical steps for grace with boundaries and peace with integrity.
