Jesus tells the parable of the Prodigal Son.

Jesus tells the parable of the Prodigal Son.

Sermon Notes: 7/20/25 Luke 15: 11-32 A parable - a story with a redemptive purpose. Because of this, parables have an ability to sneak up into our own heart and make us ask “was that about me?” God reveals the reality of the kingdom of God in His parables. Jesus was a walking parable Himself. . The text today is a parable. And its context is pretty important. Jesus is sitting with tax collectors and sinners at a table. Jesus was communicating that these sinners and tax collectors were His equal. So, the Pharisees didn’t like that. So, Jesus tells a series of parables to show wrong the Pharisees are. . Jesus explains through these parables that repentance is paramount to the life of a Christian. In the story of the prodigal son, we have three points of view. The older brother, the younger brother (the prodigal) and the Father. The older brother’s refusal to join the celebration is a major sign of disrespect to the father and to the community. But the father loves his son - both of them! Jesus shares the gifts of His kingdom with all of His family. Even the bitter brother. . The younger brother has a ton of audacity. Asking for the contents of the father’s will before he died is the same as saying - “you’re no good to me, and I wish you dead.” And the vices that the younger brother could have gotten into - that’s probably what he got up to! And when the famine comes, he winds up living terrible - hitting the rock bottom. And once he gets there, he comes to his senses and goes home. But he feels so unworthy, he doesn’t even want to be treated as a son. But rather be treated as a hired servant. But upon reaching out to the father, he is raised up to his original station. That’s what the father does for us! . The father saw the younger brother - saw him with compassion. It would have been undignified for a man to run, yet he does. It would have been undignified to interrupt, yet he does with compassion. The ring and the sandals given to him are symbols of authority. And that is what the father does for YOU. Apart from Christ, you are naked. But in Christ, you’ve clothed yourself with Christ. . The heart of the father, is prodigal. The father is reckless. But the father says that it’s worth it for my sons to repent. . Won’t you find yourself life and inheritance in the Father? Come home, to Him.

Jesus receives and restores prodigals

Luke 15 reveals the heart of a Father who relentlessly pursues, graciously restores, and joyfully receives His lost children. Our guest speaker, Peter Smith, will unpack the parable of a father's children to show how God values every individual and longs to bring them home—no matter how far they’ve wandered.

➡️ DESCRIPTION: Cette parabole bien connue et bien aimée, met en scène un père miséricordieux face à deux fils ingrats qui sont l'un et l'autre perdus. Cette histoire illustre non seulement la condition des pécheurs loin de Dieu, mais l'abondance de sa grâce pour réconcilier ses enfants. PLAN: 1. La rébellion du fils cadet (v.11-24) - La demande (v.11-13) - La misère (v.14-16) - Le plan (v.17-19) - La grâce (v.20-24) 2. L'hypocrisie du fils aîné (v.25-32) - La colère (v.25-28) - La justice (v.29-30) - La grâce (v.31-32) QUESTIONS: 1. Comment faut-il comprendre la demande du fils cadet? 2. Quel genre de vie le pécheur mène-t-il loin de Dieu? 3. À quel moment le fils prodigue se repent-il? 4. Comment la rédemption de Christ est-elle illustrée dans cette parabole? 5. Que représente le frère aîné? 6. Pourquoi le fils aîné est-il condamné par son propre standard de justice? 7. Qu'est-ce que le père offre à son fils aîné? Textes complémentaires: Luc 15 ; Luc 19.1-19 Prédicateur: Pascal Denault

Dan unpacks the shocking gift of God's grace, and the need to learn how to fully accept it.

It’s safe to say that we are all the way into this “Atmosphere Matters” business and this Sunday will be another of my favorites: “Get a New Watch.” As with all the principles there is something of a paradox in this principle. Why? Because Christ himself was a walking paradox. The God-Man was not easy to understand even though his atmosphere resonated as true, good, and home. * CONNECT CARD -- https://siderischurch.com/connectcard * MAKE A BIG DECISION -- https://siderischurch.com/baptism * GOSPEL RESOURCES -- https://siderischurch.com/resources

In today's message, we explore the profound idea that we should never stop considering - whether it’s faith, purpose, or the divine; recognizing that we are part of something greater gives us a deeper sense of meaning and direction. It shapes how we live, how we treat others, and how we navigate the complexities of life. Join us as we dive into Scripture and reflect on the importance of humility, seeking, and staying grounded in a higher calling.

The world paints success in terms of wealth and possessions, but God shows us that the truly successful fathers are the ones who invest themselves in their family’s lives.

The Prodigal Son Pastor James Burke

It doesn't matter who you are, you are seen by the Good Father. There's nothing you can do that can exhaust His love for you.

Celebrate life from death - look for redemption, for resurrection, for new hope then celebrate.

Welcome to Christ Community Church of Wilmington NC. We are committed to teaching the Bible, transforming lives, and touching our world.

At Community Church of Greenwood our mission is to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ and live in full devotion to Him. We exist to make disciples who make other disciples by following Jesus, being changed by Jesus & being on mission for Jesus!

As we continue to look at the Parable of the Prodigal Son, Jesus in telling this parable, goes to the worst-case anyone in the audience can imagine. He paints a picture of rebellion and dishonor beyond what His collected audience can even imagine. This story He tells is not just attention-getting, it is shocking. It is gasp-worthy!

Beginning today, we are going to do a 3-week sermon series on this parable of the prodigal son, looking at it each week from a different vantage point, through a different character. And in doing so, I am willing to guess that many will find they didn’t know the story as well as they thought.

Fathers have a tough job. The only thing harder is being a mother, especially today when mothers more and more are having to fulfill both roles. Fathers being in and with a family have been declining for years. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 19.5 million children, more than 1 in 4, live without a father in the home. Source: U.S. Census Bureau. (2018). The Bible has some examples of fatherhood and we can use these examples whether we are a father or a mother that is being left to be both mother and father. We can also use these examples in everyday life. It is a story about a couple of boys and their father. It illustrates how we should act as either the head of the house (father or mother). These truths even work on how we can handle our children if they have left home. They are still our children and our kids, no matter what their age. And these truths work for everyone on how to deal with relationships. And boys will be boys.
