1. Early in his sermon, Tim said, “to be human is to be self-alienated.” He was speaking about the unavoidable universal experience of humans disavowing (or, sort of, ignoring and being in denial about) parts of ourselves that don't fit with the projected images of ourselves that we embrace as our self-concept.He went on to say that to be human is to be a bundle of contradictions - even to ourselves. And that our persistent self-alienation shapes the way we show up in the world. Later, when looking at the story, Tim pointed out that, before the prodigal son could be reconciled with his father and community, he is first reconciled to to an aspect of his own identity from which he's been estranged. First, how do you respond internally to the idea that you don't know yourself as thoroughly as you might hope? How easy is that to accept? How do you feel about that fact? How interested are you, in general, in learning and recognizing more about yourself? For some it may feel difficult, daunting, scary, interesting, exciting, or something else entirely! How does the prospect feel for you? How motivated are you to engage intentionally in self-discovery of this sort? How do/would you go about it? What barriers have you encountered to the process?Have you had experiences in which, like the prodigal son, you have a sort of “aha moment” in which you recognize a previously unknown truth about your self or personality? Or have you been a witness to a similar experience in someone else's life? If so, share about those experiences and, if possible, what the precursors to those moments were.2. Tim said, at several points in his sermon, that “All exiles are self-imposed.” Thinking about the spiritual part of our lives, what does exile look like? How would you identify spiritual exile within your own life? Is this something you've experienced personally? Is it something you've witnessed in others? How do we go about recognizing this self-imposed nature of exile while coming from a place of compassion, rather than of judgement? Does engaging with this idea compassionately feel easier or harder to do with self than with others? What do you make of that? 3. Tim talked about the response of the older brother, and related it to the way in which we can use religion to reinforce our “carefully curated and highly defended identities as good little boys and girls.” In this paradigm, the idea of God's joyful and unconditional embrace of all of humanity into God's love and family can be upsetting. He pointed out that the story's older brother has built his sense of self and worth around the idea of having worked to earn both his father's love, and his position in the father's household. When the father's unhesitating embrace of the prodigal pairs with the father's equally open embrace of this elder son, it throw's the older brother's sense of things into a tailspin. How much do you relate to this older brother? Or do you relate more to the prodigal? In what ways? Have you or do you feel any resistance to the idea that a fortune-squandering, family-shaming child of God is as fully beloved and appreciated as God's perfectly performing children? If you can, think of someone you know who has perhaps squandered some fortune that could have been yours or who has shamed your family or loved one. Do you feel resistance to the idea of that person/those people as fully as beloved and appreciated as God's perfectly performing children? Does putting someone real into that question impact your sense of resistance at all? If so, how? What do you make of your answer?

What kind of assumptions are we making about others on their financial journeys? Are we judging, putting up barriers, or closing our hearts to generosity, compassion, and understanding because of our own ideas about the financial behaviours and struggles of others? In episode #407, Rev. Ray Borg joins Dave and Reb in this conversation of discovery as they look at the Older Brother in the parable of the Prodigal Son, and how we can sometimes reflect the same attitudes he had towards his younger brother. Tune in to the show today to hear their conversation which is sponsored by Financial Discipleship Canada and notmine.ca—a ministry to the body of Christ that voices and encourages dialogue and new conversations regarding finance and discipleship.

When 10 year old Aaron Gaberman was diagnosed with a form of Pediatric Brain Cancer in May of 2005, his older brother Jon was right by his side from that day until this present day, doing whatever he could then and can now to be by his brothers side as a devoted sibling. The brothers will talk about the difficult experiences that they have had through the years , and the bond that they have established which is an unbreakable one.

In the fifth instalment of the character series, Olawunmi Brigue discusses the concept of 'goodness' or right living as outlined in Galatians 5:22, contrasting it with sinful living. The episode delves into the importance of living right, highlighting that while salvation and access to God's inheritance are not based on works, living right is crucial for preserving oneself from the consequences of sin. Using scriptural examples such as the prodigal son and the rich young ruler, Olawunmi highlights the consequences of not living right and emphasises the need to distinguish between accessing God's promises through faith and living a morally upright life to avoid sin's detrimental effects. 00:59 What is Goodness? 02:08 The Importance of Upright Living 02:20 Salvation and Righteousness 05:20 Right Believing vs. Right Living 07:13 The Nature of Sin 08:58 Accessing Inheritance Through Right Believing 19:57 Why Live Right? 25:02 The Story of the Prodigal Son 34:35 The Older Brother's Perspective 38:28 Understanding the Consequences of Sin Olawunmi Brigue, host of the SuperAbundant Life podcast, is a certified executive and transformational life coach, and the founder of Luminous membership, a Personal & Spiritual Growth Hub for women who desire to build BOTH a highflying career and a wholesome family without sacrificing their wellbeing or personal fulfilment.

Austin Wadlow follows up last week's sermon on Luke 15.
Perhaps the most common hurt in the church today is loved ones who remain in the far country. It is tempting to turn your back or give up hope. The parable of the prodigal son reminds us that in Christ, God's only son, we have hope for the sons and daughters who are in the far country and for those who think they are too good for the grace of God. I. The Younger Son i. The hurtful request ii. The Journey to the Far Country iii. The Journey Back to the Father's HouseII. The Older BrotherQuestions:1. What aspect of this parable do you find most challenging? Most encouraging?2. Which son do you find yourself identifying more with and why?3. The gospel is on full display in this parable. How do you see the gospel played out in the story?4. Take some time to reflect about your own life. If part of a small group, share about a family member or loved one who you are praying for who is in the far country.6. What aspect of the parable series has struck you the most?

Like all our beliefs, the attitudes and dispositions we have toward money are largely shaped by our past – our family of origin, our cultural background, and our church experiences. In Luke's gospel, we see at least 4 different ways of viewing money. Like the Rich Fool in Luke 12, some of us believe that the good life is found when we hoard the most for ourselves. Others of us live more like the Rich Young Ruler in Luke 18; we falsely assume that God will always bless us financially as a reward for our faithfulness. Or we doubt God's generosity towards us altogether and live more like the Older Brother in Luke 15. But in Luke 21, we see a picture of someone who really trusts in the God of abundance and not in the uncertainty of wealth. A widow, giving all that she has, is commended by Jesus as a picture of what true generosity looks like. We too can reshape how we view money and the way we give by reorienting our minds around the truths of scripture, reshaping our habits to reflect generosity, and participating in a community of Jesus-followers committed to doing the same.

In this sermon, Pastor Aaron Bjorklund explores the parable of the prodigal son, addressing both the younger and elder brothers' perspectives on grace, emphasizing that true grace is found through a relationship with the Father, not through efforts to earn it.

Similar to our lesson on “God as obedient son,” this is not a metaphor, but a living reality because of the incarnation of Christ. Jesus became an older brother, not just to James, Jude, and others, but to all of his disciples. As our older brother, he acts as our kinsman redeemer, rescuing us and caring for us, […]

In John chapter 7, we are introduced to Jesus' brothers. What do you think it was like to have the perfect Son of God as a brother? At that point, none of them believed He was the Messiah. Despite their coaxing, Jesus did not let their expectations determine what He did or when He did it. For more information, visit lakepointe.church/dailydrive
Our producer Mandy asked our older brother Travis a bunch of questions, and then we had to guess what his answers were. Eg. "Whose clothes would you rather wear out of Luke and Scott's?". Turns out his answers were not all kind. Once again we've cooked an interview with an A-list celebrity. Why we're asked to go on red carpets, we will never know. But this latest chat with a famous actor will probably mean it's the last one for us. Someone has stolen Lukaboy's identity, and they're using it to sell the hottest tickets in town - Taylor Swift tickets. And it all started with some peer pressure back in the day.
