Luke 15:11-32 "The Prodigal Son" (11/9/2025)
Luke 15 stands as one of the most beautiful portraits of God’s heart in all of Scripture. In this single chapter we find one continuous story told in three movements — a true symphony of salvation. The Shepherd leaves the ninety-nine to find the one who wandered. The Woman lights a lamp and searches until she finds the lost coin. And the Father runs to embrace and restore his son who had gone astray.
This message from Pastor Landon invites us to see that these are not three disconnected parables but one complete picture of the gospel. Together they reveal the seeking Son, the searching Spirit, and the welcoming Father. We move from the pasture to the parlor and finally into the household of God, where both sons are lost — one in rebellion and one in religion — and both are met with undeserved grace.
The younger son discovers that sin promises freedom but always leads to famine, while the older son learns that outward obedience without love still leaves the heart far from home. Through it all, the Father remains steady, watching, waiting, and running toward his children. Grace begins with God, not with us. Before a word of repentance is spoken, mercy is already moving.
Pastor Landon draws us to Psalm 34 :18 — “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” God does not withdraw from weakness; He draws near to it. The pig pen becomes holy ground, and the road home becomes redemption’s path. Every detail of this story points to the extravagant love of God — a Father who gives more than enough, forgives more than we can measure, and restores us completely.
Whether you see yourself in the prodigal who wandered far or in the older brother who stayed close but grew cold, the invitation is the same: come home. Lay down your pride, your striving, your shame, and step into the feast of mercy prepared for you.
📖 Scripture References: Luke 15 : 11 – 32 | Psalm 34 : 18 | Romans 5 : 8 | Isaiah 61 : 10
💡 Themes: Grace • Repentance • Restoration • Revival • The Father’s Love
If your heart feels weary or distant, know that the Father still runs toward you. His grace is greater than your failure, His patience deeper than your doubt, and His welcome wider than you imagine.
