he Christmas season is known as the "gift giving" season. But what is the history behind this tradition of generosity during the Advent season? What is the origin story of Christmas gifts and giving? This week at Maplewood, we are taking a crack at answering these questions so that we can REALLY be ready for Christmas this year.

We focus on the prodigal (extravagantly wasteful) actions of the younger son, but what about the extravagant wasteful love of the Father? It is relentless.

11/07/2021 - Yanni Tsamoutalidis - The Prodigal Love Of God (Luke 15:11-32) by Faith Community Church of South Boston, VA

Ps. Nic looks at how Jesus used the parable of the Prodigal Son to set people straight on Gods heart for freedom, generosity and sonship.

The story of the prodigal is more about the father than the runaway son; it is the story of our Father's reckless love. He spent everything—the precious blood of His only Son—to save us from our sins and bring us home! Watch the Message Listen to the Message: Download the sermon notes

This familiar parable is not only about a son who squandered his father’s money.  Nor is it only about a son who was bitter at his brother’s return home.  It is about the deep, deep love of a father for his child.  

Like the father in Luke 15:11-32, God loves with a compassionate, scandalous, prodigal kind of love.

“The Prodigal Son” from StonePoint Church by Pastor Matthew Earls. Released: 2020. The post Prodigal Love appeared first on StonePoint Church.

How do we begin to live as true sons living in inheritance, the very nature of the Father? Brant shares what love looks like as it begins flowing out of the uniqueness of your heart. He shares on the transformational prodigal love of the Father that restores all things to us.

Prodigal Love: Prodigal Grace by First Christian Church

Prodigal Love: Prodigal Bitterness by First Christian Church

On Tuesday, September 17, Trey spoke with Dr. Sarah Bartel, co-founder with her husband of Cana Feast—a ministry for married or engaged couples to grow closer to God and to each other. Sarah and Trey talked about last Sunday's Gospel reading from Luke - the shepherd's lost sheep, the widow's lost coin, and the father's lost son. What can parents learn from these stories about God's love for his earthly children in order to properly raise their own children? God leaves the 99 sheep to go looking for the 1, He rejoices when a “lost coin” is found, and He welcomes us with open arms when we come home to Him after going astray. In other words, “heaven rejoices I tell you, in just the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance (Lk. 15:7)." Parents should strive to show their children the same graces God gives us! Listen to this episode to hear Trey and Dr. Bartel dive into this gospel reading and make it applicable to parenting today. And be sure to check out canafeast.com to learn how you can grow closer to your spouse and to God! Remember to pray, parent with a purpose, and prepare for God to amaze you, and He will!

Pastor Ryan shares the parable of the prodigal son and the prodigal father. An encouraging message of how God see's us.

This week, we welcomed Reverend Mike Ford, minister of RUF Fayetteville. His sermon, "The Prodigal Love of the Father," was from Luke 15:11-32. The hymns for this week were "Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise," "Psalm 103," and "Thy Works, Not Mine, O Christ."

The Prodigal Love of the Father by harmonyvineyardchurch

It’s no surprise that we all carry some baggage into our marriage and that can spill into our marriage. To talk about this we interviewed Dr. Matt Turvey.  Matt is the director of Winshape Marriage, a retreat and conference center located in North Georgia. Matt holds a doctorate in clinical psychology and has been married to his wife Nicole for 22 years and they have four kids. Interview Can you tell us a little about yourself? I’ve been married to my wife Nicole for a little over 22 years. We have four kids—ages 17, 15, 12 and six.  Seven or eight years ago, we moved to Lima, Peru to do counseling for missionaries. My dad found out that House Hunters was filming, so we applied. The show came to Peru and shot us for a few days. We were international superstars for a few minutes. What is Winshape? Winshape started about 35 years ago by Truett Cathy, the owner of Chick-Fil-A. It started with a college leadership program and has branched into foster homes, a retreat center, teen ministry, and camps around the country. The latest is Winshape Marriage, which started about 16 years ago. I get to direct that, and it’s so fun. We serve couples at whatever stage they’re in—whether they’re trying to get ready for marriage, looking for encouragement, a blended family, or have a kid with special needs. We have things around sexual intimacy, empty nesters, and couples who are really stuck. We have deep dive intensives to look at what is keeping couples from having the marriage they want to have. Most people think of a ‘capital ‘T’ Trauma’ as a rape or seeing something life threatening or tragic. The ‘little-t traumas’ are the ones where you’re there and not quite sure what you experienced – messages you got from your parents that you interpreted wrongly. Most people have parents who care for them in the best way they know how and they bring their own ‘little ‘t’ traumas’ to the table and act the best out of what they know.  How does the need to perform in marriage have an impact? Because I wanted to be such a good husband, I did everything I could to be a good husband. It got me by for about ten years and we realized that more than trying to have a deep relationship we were trying to have a relationship free of conflict. I was doing my graduate work for Gary Smalley and attended my first marriage intensive. I realized for the first time that I had never let my wife have a negative emotion around me because it meant I was a failure.  When I saw it in this process, I realized I had squashed her. I came home and tried to see her comments (eg. the yard needs to be mowed) as not being about me. I was turning the fingers around at her and always had an accusatory posture that belittled her. How does our personal baggage come into marriage? A philosopher once said, “the unexamined life is not worth living.” If you don’t examine and take the deep dive into stuff that you bring to the table, you’re just going to repeat patterns. In some ways, we’ve just learned to survive and it may not be the best way. People bring the old stuff into marriage and it works for a while, but you’re not really succeeding in a safe, deep, intimate way with your spouse. When we look and see how we’re connecting with our spouse, we need to ask if there is a better way. When people ask those questions, they may be surprised at the answer sometimes. But if you look a little deeper, you’ll find a new level of intimacy in your marriage. How do we properly deal with trauma in marriage? I remember the first time I went to counseling for stuff I recognized as a problem for my marriage, it literally felt like I was standing on the edge of a cliff and looking down. There was the other side of the cliff that was health, and I had no idea how to get there.  I didn’t know there was a safety net and when I took the first step of faith God had me. As I got deeper and deeper into my wounds, I realized that I liked myself and could trust myself. There were some truths about myself and who God created me to be that helped me come to my marriage from a place of health. How often do struggling couples have unresolved problems? You start out as an individual in marriage so probably the vast majority of stuff is individual. The difference between your expectations and reality is where the disappointment is. But far and away when I start looking at things from a different lens in my marriage, 95% of stuff gets taken care of. How often are responses directed at the spouse instead of what they can improve? I get calls from people who want to come to intensives and they’re not saying it so much but they’re basically saying, “My spouse is nuts, can you fix them”. We have to start with ourselves first. If we can help individuals look at what they bring to the table and then we show up out of a place of health and wholeness you’re really able to grow. Over the years, I’ve come to realize that most of us in our marriage actually have what it takes. I believe in people who come to counseling. I believe in the innate ability of people to show up and remove the junk that overlays their heart—deep down we were created to love and be attached to other people and our savior. We want to set the stage for that to happen. What is the Prodigal Love program? This is the first time we’ve done a marriage experience for individuals. Our marriage retreats for years have been you and your spouse come together—that works and that’s awesome. But like we’ve been talking about, you need to do your own stuff first.  Prodigal Love is all about that. We’re bringing in a program with some Christian therapists. We call it a personal growth intensive. It helps folks slow down, get rid of their cell phone, and be in a small group setting where you have the chance to take that dive off the cliff. It sounds like a scary experience but the people who are walking you through it are extremely safe. When you get in that process you’re going to find some healing. If you trust the process, change will happen. I’ve been through it myself and I can tell you it was the first time in my life where I felt the grace of Jesus in my gut, in a way I had never experienced before. It was powerful and I’m hoping we can recreate a sense of that experience for people who come. What transformation have you seen from programs like this? I went through a process very similar to Prodigal Love. About six years ago, we adopted a beautiful little girl from China. When she came home I was an angry man at a beautiful little two and a half year old girl from China and I had no idea why. In the process I found Onsite, the process we use in Prodigal Love. And not once in the process did we talk about me as a dad. We started going back and looking at the messages I had received in life early on. What we began to realize was me being loved for performance was there. In one exercise we did called a psychodrama where you ask people to play a role for you and you talk to them. That exercise changed everything for me. I experienced the grace of Jesus and heard him say, “I delight in you”. When I experienced that grace. I became a better father, husband, and boss. Your one simple thing this week: I hope people recognize that the struggle with God is okay. Don’t run from it, look at it and ask what it is. Ask for wisdom when you need it.

Luke 15:11-30

When you need love, you hope someone will love you this way. The post Prodigal Love appeared first on Ember Church.

In some ways, we are all outsiders battling various lies. Maybe you're like the younger prodigal son battling guilt and shame over past decisions, and thus you doubt your self-worth and whether you truly belong anywhere. Or maybe you're the older son trying to turn life into a performance for God. Either way, the way to destroy lies is with the truth. Jeff looks at Luke 15 to help us gain a true understanding of God's inheritance, sin, and God's grace. And ultimately, we turn our attention to Jesus, the third Son in this story – the Son of God.

Have you ever wondered what God thinks of you? Do you feel that he remembers your past or that he dreams about your future? The way we answer those questions has a profound impact on how we perceive God — either as distant and demanding, or as a loving Father who has compassion on his children. In this message, Pastor Buddy Owens takes a look at the prodigal love of our heavenly Father. You’ll learn the true meaning of “prodigal” and how it defines the heart of God as a generous Father who loves us, even when we don’t deserve it. Find out why Jesus wants to welcome us home, and how to receive his loving embrace.

Imagine God running towards you. That is exactly what he does in his love for you. Jesus teaches a story about how a lost sheep, a lost coin and a couple lost sons is really a story about a Loving Father who pursues us at great cost to Him. www.grovechristianfellowship.org

Rev. Dr. David Gushee continues our sermon series on the Parables of Jesus in the Gospel of Luke. This one's from Luke 15:11-32, the story of the Prodigal Son. Scripture Reference: Luke 15:11-32 "Then the father said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. But we had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and has come to life; he was lost and has been found.’” -- Luke 15:31-32

“We had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of your was dead and has come to life; he was lost and has been found” (Luke 15:32) Prayer: Jesus, help me put away my sins and return to you with all my heart. St. Mary Ann of Jesus of Paredes (161

It is important for us to understand that the words we speak have power. They have the ability to build us up but also tear us down. Proverbs 18:20-21 says, "A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." Whatever situation you're going through God wants you to know you're going to get through it with the power of proclamation, praise, and prayer. But first ask yourself, What kind of fruit are you eating?

In this message Pastor Russ Emanuel talks to you about the struggles of life. Everyone has struggles that come in many different ways and many different situations. More often than not we're struggling to get ahead instead of waiting for God to move. But this message tells you that "The Struggle Is Real" because it has a purpose. It's meant to stretch you and push you beyond your limits so that you become more than what you were. It will strengthen you and give you a stronger foundation to stand on. And more importantly it is a set up that puts you in a position to minister to those who have come out of a similar struggle. Remember God is with you during your struggle and if you're persistent within your struggle he'll turn it into a masterpiece for Him.

Romans 3:23-24 says, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus." In this message Pastor Randy Williams speaks to you about Reconciliation and the message God has for you. No one is perfect and we all will make mistakes, but God saw fit that through His son we would be able to come into right standing with Him. God is in Christ Jesus to reconcile us. Once we receive this message, we must live like it is alive in us. Through the receiving of this message God qualifies you to be an ambassador for His kingdom. Take the message you have received and share it with the world.

Genesis 2:7 says, “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul,” In this message Pastor Russ Emanuel speaks to you about learning to love the mud. We are all formed of the dust of the ground and like the ground sometimes our lives can resemble a mess. But God wants to turn your mess into mud. If you allow His life giving water to flow upon your life He will do a work in your mess.He will work a miracle in the middle of your mud. He will use you in a great and mighty way. He will love you through the mud. The only question left is….What are you gonna do with your mud today?

Luke 15 contains one of the most famous stories in the Bible, the Parable of the Prodigal Son. Perhaps it should be called the Parable of the Prodigal Love of God. In it we see how the gospel saves the irreligious and religious through the audacious...

From Luke 15. God the Father has Prodigal Love that is unconditional, unwavering, unrelenting, reckless, and extravagant. Our loving Father provides an open mind, open arms, and open heart to us.
