We’re taking your battle with sexual addiction deep into a familiar story and see The Father's Response!

While you may have heard the parable of the Prodigal Son before, this time try listening with your eyes closed and heart open to see where you fit in. 

As the story highlights the different paths two sons will take, allow it to draw a picture of how you may be relating to God the Father in your battle against sexual sin. Where do you see yourself? Are you the one pushing away or the one pressing in to earn approval? 

Listen for your role in your own story and listen for how God’s heart is revealed in the father’s voice.

Highlights:

Younger Brother - Posture of Rebellion:

Believes truest satisfaction found in sin.

Older brother - Posture of Earning:

Believes working hard to do the right thing, abstaining from desires almost acting like this is what I need to do in order to have God’s blessings.

Father’s Response:

The father’s first focus is not on what the son has done but that the son has been with him.

Not in response to what the son has done, the father responds, “all that is mine is yours.”

Bask in these words and actions of the father: 

Welcome & Celebration

v20 “He was filled with compassion and ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.”

Grace & Love

v31 “My Son (My Daughter) You are always with me and everything I have is yours.”

Be Aware:

The enemy wants us to leave, to believe God is a kill joy.

The enemy wants to convince you that you need to work harder for your Father to notice.
