Parables: The Prodigal Son | Luke 15:11–32

“He was lost and is found.”

This week in our Parables series, we dive into one of the most powerful and personal stories Jesus ever told: The Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11–32). It’s a story of rebellion, regret, redemption—and the relentless grace of the Father.

In this message, we unpack:

• Why it’s not about inheritance, but intimacy

• How rules without relationship can lead to resentment

• And the way the Father’s grace flows, even when our gratitude doesn’t

Whether you relate to the younger son who ran or the older brother who stayed, this parable speaks to every heart. Jesus reminds us that God doesn’t give up on His kids—He runs toward us, not away.

What you’ll learn:

• The cultural context behind this story

• Why Jesus told it in response to religious criticism

• What it means for us as both sons and servants today

Let’s be a people who don’t condemn when the prodigal comes home—we celebrate.
