Podcasts about scripture: luke 15:11-15:21

The parable of the prodigal son is one of three found in Luke 15. These parables are not an indictment of those who fall short, but an illustration of God's great love for his creation. Each parable ends with a celebration when what was lost is found. The message for us is that no matter if we are the lost sheep, the lost coin, or the wayward son, there is a path back to God's love and forgiveness. Too often, we forget that we were once lost. At some point, we were all that lost sheep, lost coin, or child who left home and got into trouble. Just as the Father received us back, we must also welcome those who have become lost. When someone comes to our service, we should welcome them just as the father welcomed home his lost son. The Bible says the prodigal son came to himself and realized the servants in his father's house were better off than he. Recognition without action is just information. He would not have improved his situation if he had not gotten up and acted. The son overcame his pride and resolved to return home. No matter what our situation or how far we have wandered, there is still a path

In my younger days, I saw the world through different eyes. I was sure that the world worked the way I saw it. But time and experience changed my view. Let me take you on a journey to help you see how I saw freedom and how my view evolved over time. To young people, freedom is very important. Often, they have a short-term view of a long-term life.

You and I live in a very small part of a very big galaxy. And when you take the time to consider just how big the universe is, by comparison, it's a little overwhelming. What if the universe is a cosmic billboard to remind us that God is very, very big and we're very, very small? And does it affect how we understand the Biblical idea that "God loves us?" In this message, Max Vanderpool attempts to frame an appropriate response to God's (size and) love.

Repent is to return back to God and his light. What is drawing you away? What ever it is God desires for you to come back.
