Podcasts about Luke 15

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.

In the final session of this Luke 15 series, we move beyond the surface of the parables and into the very heart of the Gospel: God wants you. Through the stories of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the prodigal son, Jesus reveals not a distant God who merely tolerates people, but a loving Father who pursues, sacrifices, waits, welcomes, and restores.This lesson examines the compassion of Jesus toward sinners, the dangers of Pharisaical pride, and the invitation for believers to reflect the heart of the Father in how we respond to broken and wandering people today. Drawing connections to the woman caught in adultery, the sinful woman who washed Jesus' feet, and the open-ended conclusion of the prodigal son story, this class challenges us to move beyond intellectual religion into transformational love and grace.Luke 15 is not just about being lost and found—it is about a Father who runs toward His children, catches them before they fall, and never stops wanting them home.  

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.

Threshold Five: Entering The Kingdom | Luke 15:3-7 by Osterville Baptist Church

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.

Send us a message!We read Luke 15 and 16 and listen to Jesus teach with grounded, blue-collar parables that make God's heart feel close and concrete. We end by wrestling with how the realities of heaven and hell change our urgency to pray, speak up, and welcome people home. • Jesus using earthy stories to help us relate to God • Joy in heaven over repentance through the lost sheep and lost coin • The prodigal son as grace for the rebel and a mirror for the resentful • The dishonest manager as a warning and a lesson in urgency and stewardship • Faithfulness in small things and the danger of loving money • The rich man and Lazarus as a haunting picture of reversed eternities • Our tendency to minimize hell and underestimate heaven • Questions that probe how eternity should shape our daily choices  At outloudbible.com, you can find free resources to help you study the Bible.

I. The Care of the Father (15:11-13) 1. He is present. 2. He is protector. 3. He is provider.   II. The Compassion of the Father (15:14-20) III. The Celebration of the Father (15:21-24) IV. The Call of the Father (15:25-32)   How should we live knowing that the Father still runs? Repent quickly — Don't wait to “clean up.” The Father runs to meet you. Receive grace fully — Stop trying to earn what the Father freely gives. Release others freely — The Father's forgiveness becomes our model. Rejoice in God's mercy — Celebrate what the Father celebrates. Reject the older‑brother spirit — Don't let pride keep you outside the feast.

When, in one of Jesus' most well-known parables, the "prodigal son" returns, his older brother feels wronged by the warm reception accorded by their father. The charges he lays against his younger brother may be even stronger than often realized if we perceive echoes of a key scene in Homer's Odyssey.

What if the prodigal son story isn't about a lost boy, but about a Father who never stopped running toward him?

Catherine unpacks the heart of God as revealed in the parable of the prodigal son, the lost sheep, and the lost coin. You'll discover how God doesn't wait for you to clean up before He embraces you. He runs toward you in your mess, clothes you in His identity, and throws a party just because you're home. In this episode: - Why God is the one who seeks, not the one who waits - The difference between the younger son's rebellion and the older son's bitterness - How your behavior doesn't define your identity as a son or daughter of God - What it means to be clothed in the Father's robe, ring, and shoes - Why grace always celebrates, even when religion condemns If you've ever felt too far gone, too broken, or too bitter to come home, this message is for you.

Listen as Pastor Scott Andrews preached from Luke 15:25-32 on Sunday, May 10th, 2026.

Why do we constantly compare ourselves to others? How can comparison lead us either to shame or pride? And what does this story reveal about where we actually belong? In today's episode, Tanya shares how Luke 15:11–32 shows that whether we identify with the prodigal son or the older brother, comparison keeps us from belonging and fully experiencing the Father's love.
