We all know the parable of the Prodigal Son, but what is the final outcome of the older brother. The parable leaves us hanging without a conclusion. The question is WHY? Jesus knew what He was doing when he did this. This parable is the last of three parables Jesus tells in succession, and the punch line is the key in the Prodigal Son. Listen why.
Pastor Michael continues our "Expanding the Table" sermon series, preaching for Father's Day on the parable of the prodigal. How does the father in this story create new social imaginaries by rejecting the gender binary? How does this parable grant us a more expansive view of the revolutionary act of parenthood?

Revival Of The Prodigal - Luke 15.11-24 - Travis Reed
Preached for the Fourth Sunday in Lent (2022-03-27). Readings: Joshua 5:9-12 | 2 Corinthians 5:16-21 | Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32 | Psalm 32
So often when we hear the parable of the Prodigal Son, we think that it is all about the two sons. However, in the broader context of Luke 15, Jesus is driving home why we should celebrate when repentant sinners come home and it isn't because they come home! The celebration is for the one who receives them, our gracious Father in heaven who has made a way for us to come to him!Image: The Return of the Prodigal Son, from The Miriam and Ira D.

Fourth Sunday In Lent March 27, 2022
The Parable of the Prodigal Son — One of the most well known parables in the Bible. The younger son squanders his inheritance in a foreign land. Broke, broken and starving, he devises a plan to convince his father to take him back as a hired hand. Upon his return, he begins reciting his speech only to have his overjoyed father cut him off to start the celebration. His older brother, who was still out working in the field, feels betrayed that his little brother gets the party that he deserves for working hard all these years. But as you'll hear Dr. Chris Croghan and Lars Olson teach us in this week's conversation, it's the little details between these well known pillars of the story that demonstrate the incredible gift that is God's grace towards us. Questions Adam, Kiri and Mason ask:How can you give their share of inheritance early?Who is represented by each character?How will God celebrate us?Interested in sponsoring an episode of Scripture First?

Peter, Elizabeth, and Justin read through the well-known parable of "The Prodigal Son". They discuss how, in our effort to be good, we can sometimes become like the very people we criticize. Maybe the question to ask isn't which character we relate to but how we're like all of them.You can still join one of our Rev'd Up for Sunday Maranatha House Churches (in-person and on Zoom) by visiting https://www.stmarksnewcanaan.org/go-deeper/maranatha-house-churches-2019/#Luke15 #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewelcome #christianity #prayer #jesus #iglesiaepiscopal #caminodelamor #history #churchhistory #theology #anglicanchurch #holyspririt #faith #stmarksnewcanaaan #revpeterwalsh #revjustincrisp #revelizabethgarnsey #ens #ecct #spirituality #bible #scriptures #joy #peace #grace #hope
Stories are central to the human experience; we love to tell them and love to listen to them, and we tend to walk away from them having been changed in some way. Jesus was a master storyteller: He had a way of telling stories (the Bible calls them parables) that forced His audience to ask profound and relevant questions about their lives. We've all got an idea of who God is: a judge, a teacher, an impersonal force. Yet the picture of God that Jesus gives us is radically different than the pictures of other human religions and, as it turns out, far more transformative. Listen as Pastor Clint explores the Parable of the Loving Father, and what this tells us all about God. Sermon Resources: 1. "For over fifteen years I have been asking people of all walks of life from Morocco to India and from Turkey to Sudan about the implications of a son's request for his inheritance while the father is still living. The answer has always been emphatically the same...the conversation runs as follows: Has anyone ever made such a request in your village? Never! Could anyone ever make such a request? Impossible! If anyone ever did, what would happen? His father would beat him, of course! Why? The request means--he wants his father to die.” -Kenneth Bailey, from "The Cross and the Prodigal: Luke 15 Through The Eyes of Middle Eastern Peasants" 2. “Leaving home is living as though I do not yet have a home and must look far and wide to find one…I leave home every time I lose faith in the voice that calls me the Beloved and follow the voices that offer a great variety of ways to win the love I so much desire.” -Henri Nouwen, "The Return of the Prodigal Son" Join or follow us below: Facebook: www.facebook.com/thespringmid...

The story of the prodigal son is perhaps the most well known of Jesus' parables. Many tell it as a beautiful story of repentance and forgiveness, but could it be more than that? In this week's episode, Emily and Bethany explore what this story says not only about the wayward son, but also the father who welcomes him home and the older son who is less than gracious.
