Father's Day, The Father Heart of God (Luke 15:11-32), Ryan Rice by North Valley Church
The younger son wasted everything. The older son did everything right. So why did Jesus say they were both lost?In this message, we look deeper into the Parable of the Lost Sons and discover how Jesus challenges both the rebellious heart and the self-righteous heart.The gospel is not about becoming good enough for God, it's about receiving the grace of a Father who comes looking for His lost children.
Why does Jesus leave the ninety-nine to search for the one lost sheep? In this sermon on Luke 15:1–10, we hear the comforting truth that Christ does not seek sinners in order to condemn them, but to rescue them. Like a shepherd searching for a wandering sheep, our Lord pursues those who have gone astray, carries them on His shoulders, and rejoices to bring them home. Drawing on the teaching of Martin Luther and the words of Jesus Himself, this sermon proclaims the Gospel for troubled consciences: you do not have to fear punishment, for Christ has come to save, forgive, and restore you through His Word and Sacraments. Heaven rejoices over every repentant sinner because the Good Shepherd never stops seeking His lost sheep.
O.S. Hawkins, Chancellor of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, explains that the parable of the prodigal son is not primarily about a rebellious child. It is about the Father, and through Him, a portrait of who God is and how He relates to us. The Father's love is tough enough to release, tender enough to receive, and wide enough to pursue even those standing outside in bitterness. True repentance is not mere remorse, regret, or reform. It is a change of mind that leads to a change of will, which leads to a change of action. Whether you have wandered far from God or are physically present but spiritually distant, the Father is not waiting with crossed arms. He is waiting with open hands, open arms, and an open heart. The story is yours to complete.

What Does He Think of Me Now? | Christ For YouLuke 15:1–32 | Trinity 3The Pharisees are offended because Jesus receives sinners and eats with them.Not respectable sinners. Not cleaned-up sinners. Tax collectors, public sinners, unclean sinners, the kind of people religious men thought God should keep at a distance.But Jesus does not apologize. He tells a story.A son runs from his father, wastes everything, destroys himself, and comes home with nothing. What will the father do? Will he shame him? Reject him? Make him earn his way back? Or will he receive him?What does this parable teach us about guilt, repentance, shame, and the heart of God? Why do we secretly imagine God keeping score? What happens when we treat forgiveness like a point system? And what does it mean that the father runs to embrace his lost son?This Trinity 3 sermon proclaims the comfort of Christ for sinners who wonder whether they have gone too far, failed too often, or come home too late. In Christ, the Father receives sinners, forgives sinners, feeds sinners, raises sinners, and brings His children home.Subscribe & Share:Spotify: Christ For YouPortuguês: Cristo Para VocêWebsite: ZionWG.orgLooking for a Lutheran Church near you?Support the preaching of God's Word.

"The compassionate love of our God knows no bounds." Pastor Dave Bertolini
The Scripture readings are Micah 7:18-20; 1 Peter 5:6-11; and Luke 15:1-10.The parables of the Lost Sheep and the Lost Coin aren't about conversion, they are about repentance. Repentance isn't a thing of the past. Every day Jesus seeks us with joy, carries us home, and heaven celebrates our return.
In this Father's Day message, Pastor Nick Newman explores the story of the prodigal son through the lens of the father, revealing God's heart of grace, restoration, and unconditional love. No matter how far you've wandered, the Father is waiting for your return, ready to cover your shame, restore your identity, and celebrate your homecoming. This message was recorded live on June 21st, 2026.
Jesus’ parable of the prodigal son is well known, and the father in that story can be an example to us. He reflects our Father in heaven, but also the kind of people that we should be, especially if we are fathers or any kind of leader. Speaker: Justin P. Sivley
Luke 15:11-32 -Inheritance
Luke 15:11-32 -Once a Son or Daughter
Luke 15:11-32 -Come Home!
In this episode, we push on to Luke 15:11-32, where we read the parable of the prodigal son. As we work through the parable we identify the different individuals within the story, the repentant son, the reckless father, and the resentful son, and talk through how each of them resonate with us. As we discuss the older son, we identify our propensity to reflect him rather than the father in our willingness to forgive and seek restoration with those around us. Our invitation and challenge is to forgive and restore extravagantly, just as the father of the parable does, just as Jesus does.
Luke 15:11-32 -Truth
1 Now the publicans and sinners drew near unto him to hear him.Erant autem appropinquantes ei publicani, et peccatores ut audirent illum. 2 And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying: This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.Et murmurabant pharisaei, et scribae, dicentes : Quia hic peccatores recipit, et manducat cum illis. 3 And he spoke to them this parable, saying:Et ait ad illos parabolam istam dicens : 4 What man of you that hath an hundred sheep: and if he shall lose one of them, doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the desert, and go after that which was lost, until he find it?Quis ex vobis homo, qui habet centum oves, et si perdiderit unam ex illis, nonne dimittit nonaginta novem in deserto, et vadit ad illam quae perierat, donec inveniat eam? 5 And when he hath found it, lay it upon his shoulders, rejoicing:Et cum invenerit eam, imponit in humeros suos gaudens : 6 And coming home, call together his friends and neighbours, saying to them: Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost?et veniens domum convocat amicos et vicinos, dicens illis : Congratulamini mihi, quia inveni ovem meam, quae perierat. 7 I say to you, that even so there shall be joy in heaven upon one sinner that doth penance, more than upon ninety-nine just who need not penance.Dico vobis quod ita gaudium erit in caelo super uno peccatore poenitentiam agente, quam super nonaginta novem justis, qui non indigent poenitentia. 8 Or what woman having ten groats; if she lose one groat, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she find it?Aut quae mulier habens drachmas decem, si perdiderit drachmam unam, nonne accendit lucernam, et everrit domum, et quaerit diligenter, donec inveniat? 9 And when she hath found it, call together her friends and neighbours, saying: Rejoice with me, because I have found the groat which I had lost.Et cum invenerit convocat amicas et vicinas, dicens : Congratulamini mihi, quia inveni drachmam quam perdideram. 10 So I say to you, there shall be joy before the angels of God upon one sinner doing penance.Ita, dico vobis, gaudium erit coram angelis Dei super uno peccatore poenitentiam agente.[10] "Before the angels": By this it is plain that the spirits in heaven have a concern for us below, and a joy at our repentance and consequently a knowledge of it.The human race-Jews and Gentiles -fallen into wickedness and sin, is represented by the lost sheep which the divine Shepard bears on His shoulders, and by the lost drachma which the Church finds again.

Pastor David Beeghly
1 Now the publicans and sinners drew near unto him to hear him.Erant autem appropinquantes ei publicani, et peccatores ut audirent illum. 2 And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying: This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.Et murmurabant pharisaei, et scribae, dicentes : Quia hic peccatores recipit, et manducat cum illis. 3 And he spoke to them this parable, saying:Et ait ad illos parabolam istam dicens : 4 What man of you that hath an hundred sheep: and if he shall lose one of them, doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the desert, and go after that which was lost, until he find it?Quis ex vobis homo, qui habet centum oves, et si perdiderit unam ex illis, nonne dimittit nonaginta novem in deserto, et vadit ad illam quae perierat, donec inveniat eam? 5 And when he hath found it, lay it upon his shoulders, rejoicing:Et cum invenerit eam, imponit in humeros suos gaudens : 6 And coming home, call together his friends and neighbours, saying to them: Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost?et veniens domum convocat amicos et vicinos, dicens illis : Congratulamini mihi, quia inveni ovem meam, quae perierat. 7 I say to you, that even so there shall be joy in heaven upon one sinner that doth penance, more than upon ninety-nine just who need not penance.Dico vobis quod ita gaudium erit in caelo super uno peccatore poenitentiam agente, quam super nonaginta novem justis, qui non indigent poenitentia. 8 Or what woman having ten groats; if she lose one groat, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she find it?Aut quae mulier habens drachmas decem, si perdiderit drachmam unam, nonne accendit lucernam, et everrit domum, et quaerit diligenter, donec inveniat? 9 And when she hath found it, call together her friends and neighbours, saying: Rejoice with me, because I have found the groat which I had lost.Et cum invenerit convocat amicas et vicinas, dicens : Congratulamini mihi, quia inveni drachmam quam perdideram. 10 So I say to you, there shall be joy before the angels of God upon one sinner doing penance.Ita, dico vobis, gaudium erit coram angelis Dei super uno peccatore poenitentiam agente.[10] "Before the angels": By this it is plain that the spirits in heaven have a concern for us below, and a joy at our repentance and consequently a knowledge of it.
In today's episode, we continue our journey through Luke 15:1–10, where Jesus shares two more parables with the crowds. Together, we explore the consistent response of both the shepherd and the woman: in the face of loss, they set everything else aside to pursue what is missing. And when the lost sheep and coin are found, their response is one of abundant celebration. As people invited to participate in the Kingdom of God, we are likewise called to recognize the immense value of every person around us. These parables challenge us to pursue the lost with intentionality and to celebrate joyfully whenever someone experiences the grace and life of God's kingdom.

A stand-alone sermon from Luke 15:1-7.
Brent Wilson preaches from Luke 15:11-32 on May 31st, 2026.
The most offensive line in the prodigal story isn't the partying, the pigs, or the famine. It's the sentence hiding inside the inheritance request: “Dad, I want your stuff more than I want you.” From there, everything spirals until the son hits a kind of rock bottom that feels painfully familiar, and that's exactly where the gospel starts to sound like good news again. We open Luke 15:11-24 inside our “Stories from Above” series on the Parables of Luke, and we keep the camera fixed on the Father. Jesus tells this parable to Pharisees who are furious that He welcomes sinners and tax collectors, and He answers their outrage with a kingdom picture they don't expect: a Father who watches the road, runs toward the mess, and restores sonship before the speech is finished. Along the way, we talk about the “far country” we all know, how sin sells freedom and delivers slavery, and why trials sometimes stack up until we finally admit we need help outside ourselves. Then we slow down over the details that preach grace: compassion, embrace, kiss, the best robe, the signet ring, shoes for dirty feet, and a feast that was ready. The question that lands on all of us, religious or rebellious, is simple and searching: do we understand the grace of Jesus in a way that makes us smile and live differently? If this encouraged you, subscribe, share it with a friend who feels too far gone, and leave a review so more people can find this message on grace, repentance, forgiveness, and the Father's welcome.

Message from Doug Kempton on May 24, 2026
The complaint that sparks Luke 15 is as sharp as it is revealing: “This man receives sinners and eats with them.” We slow down and sit in that moment, because it exposes two kinds of hearts in the room. The tax collectors and the publicly broken are drawing near to Jesus, while the religious experts are grumbling that grace is being handed to the wrong people. From there, we follow Jesus as he answers not with an argument, but with stories designed to reshape what we believe God is like.We connect Luke 15 to Ezekiel 34, where God condemns leaders who act like wolves instead of shepherds and promises to rescue his scattered sheep himself. That backdrop makes the parables hit harder: the shepherd who leaves ninety-nine to pursue one lost sheep “until he finds it,” and the woman who lights a lamp and sweeps her home until one lost coin is recovered. The searching is relentless, the rescue is personal, and the tone is unmistakable: God is not embarrassed by lost people, and he is not passive about bringing them home.Then comes the detail we tend to miss: the parties. Jesus says heaven erupts with joy over one sinner who repents, even when the moment on earth is quiet. We talk about why “extravagant grace” can look unreasonable, why no one is a lost cause in the kingdom of God, and how this changes the way a church treats the very people many would rather avoid. Subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review.
Luke Chapter 15 and Psalm 16 with Pastor Jeff Leigh
CURRENT SERIES - The Torch and the Pail What if we removed every transaction from our faith, every promise of reward, every threat of consequence? An ancient Sufi story tells of an angel carrying a torch to burn down the mansions of heaven and a pail to put out the fires of hell so that we might finally see who truly loves God. Not out of fear. Not to earn mercy. Just love, for love's sake. This series is an invitation to come home to a faith with no strings attached, where perfect love casts out fear, and God desires mercy, not sacrifice. What does it look like to simply love God for the sake of love itself? Come and let's explore this journey of faith together.
