Sermon "Forgiving Challenge: Restoration"
Today we're beginning the fourth full week of the season of Lent and our 40-day exploration of "The Forgiving Challenge." The focus this week is on "Restoration."
In the New Testament, the iconic parable of Restoration is Jesus' parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32). It's a story about everything we've been talking about so far in "The Forgiving Challenge": Sin, Confession, Absolution, and now Restoration. It's also about the determination of the loving and welcoming father to be as "prodigal" (="wasteful") in his love for his children as his younger son was in his rebellious lifestyle. But it's also about that father's same determination to be loving and caring to the other son who sits in judgment over both his brother and his father. Spoiler alert! The story has no ending! It just leaves us to wonder how everything will work out - or if it simply recycles itself in different forms again and again throughout history.
The Forgiving Challenge follows the acronym "S.C.A.R.S." Each week we focus on the meaning behind one of these letters: "S" for "Sin" (week of March 6); "C" for "Confession" (week of March 13); "A" for "Absolution" (also known as Forgiveness; week of March 20); "R" for "Restoration" (week of March 27); and "S" for "Sanctification" (also known as Being Holy; week of April 3).
