Parables are a significant part of Jesus's teaching. These brilliant stories paint a picture of life in the kingdom, teaching us about God, ourselves, and the Lord's presence and activity in the world. But they are not easy. Rather than give us simple platitudes and truisms, Jesus challenges us with parables. They are intended to draw us in. Jesus wants us to wrestle with them, to walk around with, meditate and have conversations about them. In this series, we will dig into the context of parables from Luke's Gospel. We will consider the picture Jesus is painting of God's kingdom, and we will engage these stories through the spiritual practice of visio divina (with some original art from our community). This week, we considered the Parable of the Lost Sons and invited the Holy Spirit to teach us the "merciful wideness of God's Fatherly love." How is God calling us to let go and embrace the compassionate parent this parable shows God to be? If The Practice Church is your home community, please join the Core Team.

Luke 15:11-32
No matter where you are or how far away from God you have run, you can always come home. Our loving Heavenly Father is waiting with open arms. He is calling once again for you to come home.Today's Scripture Verses:Luke 15:20 - “So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.” “…Let's have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.

In today's episode, we dive deeper into the parable of the two lost sons, moving beyond the traditional focus on the prodigal son to explore the lessons revealed by the reaction of the older brother. This episode challenges us to reflect on our own perceptions of righteousness and forgiveness. Through the lens of this parable, we examine how the older brother's response reveals a truth about self-righteousness and the dangers of believing ourselves to be morally superior. As we unravel the older brother syndrome, we uncover how it mirrors our tendencies to serve God from a place of fear rather than love. The older brother teaches us that God's love is not earned by our actions, but is a gracious gift for every repentant heart.
As part of our The Point of the Story series. Delivered by Andy Johnston. This sermon is also available to watch on YouTube.
The joyless complaint of a loveless worker. The first son is lost in self-expression and the second son is lost in self-righteousness, but both are outside the home, distant from the loving fellowship of the father.
The story of the Prodigal Son in the Bible reveals a powerful journey of public rebellion and heartfelt repentance. What had been hidden within the younger son's heart eventually came to light. Yet, his older brother was a prodigal in his own way. In this message, Pastor Mike Adkins offers a fresh perspective on the parable, exploring the hidden rebellion in the brother's heart and highlighting the importance of keeping our hearts aligned with God.
Celebrate for the lost has been found by a loving Father!

Know K1 Who do you most identify with in the story: Self-indulgent Ian or Self-righteous Richard? Grow G1 Dan said that self-indulgence and self-righteousness are “categories” of sins that cover most sins. Do you agree with this? List some sins: where would we “file” each sin, under which category? G2 Is one category harder to repent of than the other? If so, why do you think this might be? G3 Look back at Luke 11:1-3. Why is this context so important to the parable? G4 Dan said that this is the story of the Lost Sons. In what way did each son need to come home? Which son had the hardest journey home? Explain your answer. G5 How do you think the story ended? Do you think Self-Righteous Richard came back home or not? G6 What is the picture of the Father we get from this parable? What lie did each son believe about the Father? What truth did they need to believe to counteract the lie? Show S1 Think of your friends. Some will be more like Self-Righteous Richards. Others like Self-Indulgent Ians. Using your personal salvation story, think about how you can use it to speak to each of these kinds of people. --
Our Lord, to challenge the Pharisees and scribes in their self-righteousness, tells the story of the Lost Sons. As the master story teller, He leaves it unresolved, placing the resolution in the hearts of the hearers. #Catholic #homily #Scripture #GospelOfTheDay Sign up to have podcasts and blog posts emailed to you: eepurl.com/ioCgy2 Give feedback at forms.gle/gGhujv39g43BUxmK6 Readings are found at bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/033025.cfm

When we alienate ourselves from God we can know that if we are humble enough to return, God will embrace us.

Today, Provost of Living Faith Bible Institute Brandon Briscoe discusses a new book with author John Wright, Prodigals: Hope for Lost Sons and Daughters, Regretful or Longsuffering Parents, and Bitter Brethren. Whether you're a parent, sibling, or friend, you've likely felt the sting of a loved one abandoning you or the faith for a life of wandering in the world. There are complex emotions tangled up in this hurt—anger at the offense, confusion at the decision, bitterness at the rejection, and grief at the loss, among many others. It is a great comfort that this phenomenon is not estranged from God, and He has laid out stories and principles in His Word that can guide us in this process. Prodigals uses the story of the prodigal son to walk through a biblical perspective of loved ones' hurtful decisions but also a biblical perspective of our own hearts as we learn to reckon that hurt rightly. Using Luke 15 as the guiding passage, we follow along with the prodigal son as he rejects his father's provision, seeks fulfillment in the world, is greatly humbled, and returns penitent to a welcoming father. This story outlines for us the typical trajectory of a prodigal, and in so doing, it offers hope to those who, like the father, are patiently waiting at home for their loved one's return. Prodigals also addresses other heart postures woven into this story, speaking specifically to those who may be wrestling with bitterness, envy, and skepticism at a prodigal's decisions, or to those who may be prodigals themselves. Through God's Word we come to learn that God's heart is one of grace, longsuffering, and reconciliation, and as believers in Jesus Christ, we get to adopt that same heart towards our children, siblings, and friends who have wandered.
