This week we counted the cost of discipleship and walked through three stories of the lost — sheep, coin, and son. Today, a Saturday pause to ask honestly: am I the one who needs to come home, or the one who stayed but stopped receiving the Father's love? (S6E25)

 The younger son came home. But the older son stood outside the party, gripping his record of faithful service — unable to enjoy a house he never left. Today we finish Luke 15 with the harder, quieter question: which son am I? (S6E24)

 He demanded his inheritance, wasted it, and ended up in a pigsty. When he finally came home — braced for a servant's welcome — his father ran toward him. Today we read the first half of the most famous parable Jesus ever told. (S6E23)

 A woman loses one coin, lights a lamp, and sweeps her whole house until she finds it. Today's parable is for those who haven't wandered dramatically — just gotten quietly, gradually lost without quite realizing it. (S6E22)

 A shepherd leaves ninety-nine sheep to find one that wandered off. Today we open Luke 15 — the chapter of the lost — with a picture of a God who doesn't do cost-benefit analysis when one of His own goes missing. (S6E21)

Large crowds are following Jesus — and He turns around and tells them to count the cost. Salt that's lost its flavor is useless. Today we talk about what genuine discipleship actually requires, before enthusiasm fades. (S6E20)

A man prepares a great feast — and every invited guest has a reasonable excuse not to come. Today we ask: what "reasonable excuse" might I be offering God right now, and is it actually as reasonable as it seems? (S6E19)

 This week we covered small beginnings, the narrow door, a grieving Jesus, Sabbath rules vs. human need, and humility at the dinner table. Today, a Saturday pause to ask honestly: am I near the door, or through it? (S6E18)

 Jesus watches dinner guests jockey for the best seats — and turns it into a teaching on the entire economy of the Kingdom. Today we talk about releasing the need to secure your own standing, and giving where there's no return. (S6E17)

 Jesus heals a suffering man at a Pharisee's dinner — and the religious leaders go silent when He asks if they wouldn't do the same for their own child. Today, we talk about what happens when rules become more important than people. (S6E16)
