In week four of As For Me and My House, Pastor Paul Watson explores one of Jesus’ most well-known parables—the story of the Prodigal Son—not simply as a story about rebellion and forgiveness, but as a picture of what a healthy home looks like.


Every family knows brokenness. Every family has moments of regret, self-righteousness, and rejection. Through the story of a father and his two sons, Jesus reveals a radically different vision of family—one where failures don’t cancel belonging, hope never gives up, and restoration is offered freely instead of earned.


This message challenges us to consider the kind of home we are building. Is it a place marked by grace, hope, and reconciliation, or one defined by judgment and shame?
