This week, we continue our series titled, The Heart of God, The Heartbeat of Our Church, where we have studied how Jesus describes the heart of God and how the church can mirror it.Throughout our series, we have studied how the parable of the lost sheep and lost coin showed us that God's heart seeks after us and how he seeks after us. Today, we look at what the father in the parable of the prodigal son teaches us about the God's heart for us. The son ultimately needs the father's love and forgiveness as those characteristics open the door for the son to come to his senses and realize he can come back home to the father. And when the son does come back home, the father is the first to be celebrating his return.
