The Prodigal Son: A Story of Grace and Transformation

In this sermon, we dive into one of Jesus' most well-known parables—the Prodigal Son, or perhaps more accurately, the Loving Father. Through this story in Luke 15:11-32, we see a powerful picture of God's true nature—His grace, love, and desire for us to be in relationship with Him.

The younger son, restless and self-seeking, demands his inheritance and wastes it on reckless living, only to find himself broken and desperate. In his return home, we see a profound lesson on repentance—true change happens not just in turning back but in being embraced by the Father.

The older son, though outwardly faithful, reveals another danger—living behind self-righteousness and missing the joy of grace. His struggle reminds us that God's love is not transactional but an invitation to relationship.

At the heart of the story is the Father—waiting, grieving, running toward His son with open arms. Whether we’ve wandered far or clung to our scorecards of righteousness, God invites us into His embrace, into joy, freedom, and security.

Join us as we explore this life-changing parable and what it means for our relationship with God.
