Podcasts about two sons

Jesus tells us a story of 2 sons. One was the prodigal, and one was not. Of course the prodigal, the one who struggled, the one who messed up is the one who often gets the focus in the story. Afterall, he is the one who was lost and was found. He was the one who the father celebrated. But what about the other son. The son who didn’t struggle. The son who didn’t mess up. The son who stayed close to the father the entire time. Jesus’ story is about TWO SONS. It’s not just about the lost son, but it’s also about the son who was never lost. We find ourselves in one or both of these sons. Yesterday in part 1 of this parable we saw how the younger son asked for his share of the father’s inheritance early and left home. He quickly wasted all his money on wild living and end up starving and literally living with the pigs. But then he finally comes to his senses and realizes it would be better to be a servant in his father’s house than stay where he was. So, he prepares a big speech to return to his father and beg for forgiveness. But before he even reaches home, his father sees him still a long way off and runs to meet him. He doesn’t need to hear his speech, he celebrates that his lost son has returned and he throws a big party. The prodigal has come home and the father gladly welcomed him back. Yay! But there’s the other son. Jesus continues his story and you need to know about the other son, because maybe you find yourself more in the son who never left than the son who did. Here’s the rest of the story when the party began. Luke 15: 25-32: “The older brother was angry and wouldn’t go in. His father came out and begged him, but he replied, ‘All these years I’ve slaved for you and never once refused to do a single thing you told me to do. And in all that time you never gave me even one young goat for a feast with my friends. Yet when this son of yours comes back after squandering your money on prostitutes, you celebrate by killing the fattened calf!’ His father said to him, ‘Look, dear son, you have always stayed by me and everything I have is yours. We had to celebrate this happy day. For your brother was dead and has come back to life! He was lost, but now he is found!” Can’t you understand how the older son must have felt? He never felt celebrated. He never felt rewarded for his faithfulness. But now his screw up brother comes crawling back and he’s given a full blown party? What about his reward for never leaving? Really, isn’t that a fair feeling? We celebrate the milestones of recovery in addiction, but what about the one who has always chosen sobriety? We celebrate the marriage saved after the affair, but what about the spouse who never strayed? We see God in saving the business from the brink of disaster, but what about the business that has always seemed to just thrive? We praise the girl who lost 60 pounds, but what about the one who has consistently chosen health the entire time? Where’s that party? Where’s that recognition? When the older son asks that very fair question, the father answers, “YOU HAVE ALWAYS STAYED BY ME AND EVERYTHING I HAVE IS YOURS.” Jesus is saying, the best rewards have always been here for you. The benefits have always been yours if you stayed. You’ve been given the best because you didn’t stray. Really think about that – do you need a big celebration for returning if you’ve enjoyed the daily benefits of never leaving? Are you being shorted when your life has been blessed with all this goodness all along? Are the angels full on celebrating in heaven over us continually getting it right, staying on the right path, seeking God first, and living well? No – they don’t have to. They’re celebrating the ones who have been lost and finally comes back. And if that seems unfair – if that makes you feel like your faithfulness doesn’t matter because only the rebellious one is celebrated, think about this: YOU’VE ALWAYS HAD WHAT THE REBELLIOUS ONE HAD TO COME BACK FOR. The fact that you’ve ALWAYS HAD IT is the reward! If you’ve never left God’s goodness, you’ve been living in a continual reward. God doesn’t need to throw us a celebration – we need to celebrate him! Every day we wake up to everything he has for us. GOD WE CELEBRATE YOU! And really, that’s where the older son had failed. He had missed the fact that he always had everything at home with his father. He was jealous of the celebration his brother received, all while he had taken for granted what he had every day of his life. He failed to celebrate the RELATIONSHIP he had always had with the father. All this time he had remained physically close to his father, never leaving home like his brother did – but his heart had become distant. He says to his father, “All these years I’ve SLAVED FOR YOU …” He missed the relationship with his father. He was never asked to treat life at home as a servant trying to earn a reward – he was invited to live as a son receiving an inheritance. While he was standing outside the party, angry, keeping score, comparing his faithfulness to his brother’s failure – he had missed the relationship he always had. Girls – have we taken for granted what we’ve always had as we stay here close with God? Have we taken his protection for granted? Have his blessings become expected? Are we no longer in awe of what he does for us every single day? Woah – isn’t that us? I think so. I see myself in the older son who had grown ungrateful. I see myself in the older son who stayed but lost the sweetness of the relationship. I see myself in the one who started going through the motions of all he “had” to do and forgot the blessing in it all. The father didn’t see him as a slave. He saw him as a SON. The older brother had been living in the father’s house, but he had forgotten what it meant to live as the father’s son. He was so focused on what his brother had received that he had forgotten everything he already had. And maybe that’s the warning Jesus is giving to those of us who have stayed. You can do everything right and still miss the joy of being God’s child. You can stay close to God and still become resentful when someone who wandered receives grace. You can be faithful and still start keeping score. You can obey God and secretly believe He owes you something for it. You can spend so much time watching what God is doing for someone else that you forget to celebrate what He has already done for you. The father doesn’t tell the older son, “You’re right. Your brother doesn’t deserve this.” He simply reminds him: “You have always stayed by me, and everything I have is yours.” In other words, my child, you haven’t been forgotten. You haven’t been overlooked. You haven’t been cheated. You have been here with me all along – and everything I have is already yours. That’s the beauty of staying. Girls, we already have it all! There may not be a dramatic testimony of what you were rescued FROM, because you never went there. There may not be a spectacular story of what you came BACK FROM, because you never left. But don’t ever mistake a quiet life of faithfulness for an insignificant one. There is a miracle in never needing to be rescued from the pit. There is a blessing in never having to rebuild what you chose not to destroy. There is freedom in not carrying the wounds that come from years of running from God. There is something incredibly beautiful about a life that simply keeps saying, “Yes, Lord.” So if you’re the older son today, don’t stand outside the party. Don’t let someone else’s restoration steal your gratitude for your own journey. Don’t resent the grace God is giving someone else. And don’t believe the lie that because your story isn’t dramatic, it isn’t powerful. Your reward isn’t that God throws a bigger party when you mess up and come home. Your reward is that you never had to leave home to experience the goodness of the Father. Don’t wait for God to throw a celebration for you – live in such continual awe of God’s faithfulness and goodness that you throw the praise party for HIM! You got to live in His presence. You got to know His voice. You got to experience His protection. You got to receive His provision. You got to walk with Him through the ordinary days. And when you really understand that, you don’t need to stand outside with your arms crossed asking, “What about me?” You can walk into the party, put your arm around the one who finally came back and say, “Gosh, I’m so glad you’re home. Look at all our blessings here together!” Because the Father’s heart isn’t choosing between the two sons. He wants both sons at the table. The younger son needed to discover that he could come home. The older son needed to discover that he already was home. Are you the one who needs to come home? Or are you the one who needs to stop standing outside the party and realize just how good it is to already be home? Either way, the Father is coming toward you.

We'll be examining the cultural context behind the parable of the prodigal son. What are we being told? What symbolism are we missing? Who do the parties represent?

Matthew 21:23-32 Pastor Ryan Karey

We'll be examining the cultural context behind the parable of the prodigal son. What are we being told? What symbolism are we missing? Who do the parties represent?

Matthew 21: 28-32 But what do you think about this? A man with two sons told the older boy, ‘Son, go out and work in the vineyard today.’ The son answered, ‘No, I won’t go,’ but later he changed his mind and went anyway. Then the father told the other son, ‘You go,’ and he said, ‘Yes, sir, I will.’ But he didn’t go. Which of the two obeyed his father? They replied, “The first.” Then Jesus explained his meaning: I tell you the truth, corrupt tax collectors and prostitutes will get into the Kingdom of God before you do. For John the Baptist came and showed you the right way to live, but you didn’t believe him, while tax collectors and prostitutes did. And even when you saw this happening, you refused to believe him and repent of your sins. ———- So, Jesus tells this story and he asks us a question – “What do YOU think about this?” Really, what do you think about this? Are others who are doing far worse things than you ultimately better than you from a Heavenly perspective? In this culture, the fastest and surest way to refer to someone you would look down on is to associate them with two categories of people: Tax collectors or prositutes. Tax collectors were notoriously crooked and corrupt. They would steal from anyone for their own benefit. And prostitutes were considered the lowest of women, who made their living off other’s sins. So for Jesus to say both of these looked down on categories of people would get into the Kingdom of Heaven before them, it brought everyone who heard it down off their holy pedestal. Those listening thought they were righteous. Those listening thought they were better than others because they knew what to say and said it well. But Jesus essentially says, “It’s not what you say with your mouth – it’s what you refuse to do because of your twisted heart.” You say you will, but you don’t – Jesus is not impressed and he’s not pleased. Jesus is not saying sin doesn’t matter. He’s saying repentance matters more than reputation. The tax collectors and prostitutes Jesus is referring to had heard the Good News, they had believed it and they had changed. The religions people Jesus is talking to now had heard the same thing, watched it all happen, and refused to repent for themselves. The danger is when we don’t think we need a Savior. WE DESPERATELY NEED A SAVIOR. And when we know we need a savior, we surrender our lives and change our direction. The greatest barrier between you and Jesus may not be your sin. It may be your belief that you don’t have any. What you say you will do has no impact on God’s eternal work. Your words do absolutely nothing for you, for him, or for anyone else. It’s your changed heart that He is looking for. It’s your surrendered will that moves your feet even when your first response was to not go. Here’s the great news – God is more interested in your direction than your first reaction. The first son said no. He didn’t give the right answer. He didn’t sound spiritual. He didn’t politely say, “Absolutely, Dad!” He actually said, “No.” But then something happened. He changed his mind. (Girl, maybe you got it wrong at first, but God has given you time to change your mind!) Your first response doesn’t have to be your final response. You can say, “I’m scared. I don’t want to. I’m not ready. God, I don’t think I can.” AND GOD CAN STILL WORK WITH YOU!!!!! You don’t have to get the first response right. You just have to be willing to change your response. You know what that is? That’s grace. God isn’t looking for a perfect first response. He’s looking for a surrendered final response. I don’t know, maybe you’ve said no for 10 years. Maybe you’ve been running for a long time. Maybe you’ve resisted far more than you’ve surrendered. Maybe you’ve made some epically wrong choices. The Father is still standing in the vineyard saying, “Come work with me.” Jesus doesn’t praise the first son because he said no. He praises him because he eventually went. That’s repentance. Repentance isn’t simply: “I’m sorry I did that.” Repentance is: “I’m going somewhere different now.” You can cry and never change. You can apologize and never change. You can feel convicted and never change. You can know Scripture and never change. Repentance puts feet on conviction. Repentance is when your feet finally agree with what your heart has realized. Repentance is moving forward in obedience with what you’ve been delaying for so long. Did you know you can say “yes” to God with your mouth while saying “no” with your life. We can get all religious, and be radically wrong. The second son sounds perfect. “Yes, sir. I’ll go.” Beautiful answer. But then he doesn’t go. And Jesus is essentially saying: Don’t confuse agreement with obedience. We can become very good at Christian language. “I trust God. I surrender. God is good. I’m praying about it. I’m waiting on His timing.” But eventually, the vineyard requires you to go to work. There is a point where faith has to leave your mouth and enter your calendar. Enter your relationships. Enter your finances. Enter your habits. Enter your decisions. Enter your obedience. God isn’t impressed by the “yes” you say if your life keeps living “no.” Now, notice this about the story Jesus tells – These were both SONS of the Father. They weren’t hired workers. They were sons. They were close. And they were asked to work in the family business. The Father doesn’t say: “Go build your own vineyard.” He says: “Go work in MY vineyard.” That’s different. God has a work already happening. People need Jesus. Families need healing. The lonely need friendship. The hurting need someone to sit beside them. The lost need someone to point them home. The discouraged need encouragement. The next generation needs somebody willing to mentor them. And God says: “Come work with Me.” You aren’t trying to build God’s kingdom from scratch. You’re being invited into something God is already doing. Have you ever met someone who stepped into a successful family business? My son moved from Hawaii to Southern California last week. During his first morning on the beach, he ran into someone he knew from middle school. Our family lived in Carlsbad, California for exactly 1 year when the kids were growing up. For 1 year my son went surfing every day, my girls rode their bikes along the coast, and we thoroughly enjoyed the SoCal life. We couldn’t afford to stay, so we quickly moved away – but everyone remembers that one year with delight. So here my son is, back where he always wanted to be, now beginning a new life with his wife – and he runs into this old friend of his from middle school. He’s driving a $200,000 porche, still living on the beach, and working in the family business. His Dad started a technology institute and it grew wildly successful. So here’s this 27 year old young man who stepped right into riches. And then there’s my son. We have a pretty successful podcast that operates completely for FREE, refuses to sell advertisements, and intentionally dropped off all social media platforms. Here’s our family business which does NOT include a porche. Not all family businesses are the same. But have you ever stopped to realize that YOU have been invited into a family business that changed the entire world? A family business that saves lives. A family business that holds unseen treasure. A family business guaranteed to last forever, through the end of time?!!! There are family businesses where the inheritance looks like money. But our family business with the Father has an inheritance that can’t be measured in dollars. We get to participate in something eternal. How wild is that?!!!!!! And remember this – you’re not trying to earn your way into the family through your performance. YOU ALREADY BELONG TO THE FAMILY! The sons were already sons before the father sent them to work. We don’t work for God to become His children. We work with God because we are His children. We don’t work in the vineyard to earn the family name. We work in the vineyard because we carry the family name. You and I have been invited into a family business that cannot fail. Our Father is in the business of rescuing people. Healing people. Restoring people. Redeeming people. Bringing people home. And He doesn’t need us. He invites us. That’s the miracle. The God of the universe looks at you and says, ‘Come work with Me.’” Follow Pamela on Instagram – https://instagram.com/headmamapamela Or Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/pamela.crim Find out more about BIG Life – http://biglifehq.com

Pastor Steven Henry, Sunday Morning

28 “But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, ‘Son, go, work today in my vineyard.' 29 He answered and said, ‘I will not,' but afterward he regretted it and went. 30 Then he came to the second and said likewise. And he answered and said, ‘I go, sir,' but he did not go. 31 Which of the two did the will of his father?”They said to Him, “The first.”Jesus said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you that tax collectors and harlots enter the kingdom of God before you. 32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him; but tax collectors and harlots believed him; and when you saw it, you did not afterward relent and believe him.

In this episode of Chrisley Confessions 2.0, Todd and Julie Chrisley get into a little bit of everything, starting with Julie's very real FOMO over Two Sons and Me and why he thinks the podcast is connecting so much with listeners. From there, they dive into how social media has changed dating, relationships, privacy, and even the way people see themselves, with Todd opening up about finally feeling comfortable with who he is today instead of worrying about how other people see him.They also talk about getting older, taking better care of themselves, wellness, longevity, and Todd's newfound obsession with tracking everything from sleep to body composition. And because no conversation with these two stays serious for too long, they eventually find themselves talking about oatmeal cookies, old friends, and why Julie may or may not have been rationing Todd's cookie supply.Later, Todd and Julie take a trip down memory lane comparing life then and now, from landlines and paper maps to streaming, Venmo, AI, kids playing outside, family dinners, and parenting. They wrap things up with a hilarious “would you spend it?” game that puts some very expensive toilets, towels, olive oil, and more to the test.Thank you to our sponsors for supporting the show!- Shopify: Start your Free Trial today at https://www.shopify.com/chrisleyconfessions!- Quince: Go to https://www.Quince.com/chrisley for 365-day returns, plus free shipping on your order!- Morgan & Morgan: If you are injured, you can check out Morgan & Morgan, America's Largest Injury Law Firm, at https://www.forthepeople.com/chrisley or dial #LAW (#529) on your cell phone- Flamingo: Our listeners can get the Flamingo's Starter Set for only $7 at https://www.shopflamingo.com/Chrisley!- GoodGirlRX: Visit https://www.goodgirlrx.com and use code Confessions15 to get 15% OFF at checkout!FOLLOW US ON SOCIALS:Todd Chrisley:Insta: (https://www.instagram.com/toddchrisley)Facebook: (https://www.facebook.com/toddchrisley)Julie Chrisley:Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/juliechrisley)Facebook: (https://www.facebook.com/JulieChrisley)Chrisley Confessions 2.0:Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/chrisleyconfessions2.0)TikTok: (https://www.tiktok.com/@chrisleyconfessions2.0)YouTube: (https://www.youtube.com/@ChrisleyConfessions)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Upside Down | Parable of the Two Sons by Collective Church

Jesus' brief story of the Two Sons in Matthew 21 challenges His audience's recognition of Him while offering us, Gospel readers, a call to intercede for those we love who have lost sight of Him.

Do you see Christ's great exposure of sinners and their sin? Do you see the distinct fruit of the hearts of these two sons? An important question for you this morning is- Which son are you? Do you bear the fruit of saving grace, the fruit of repentance? Or do you have a hard heart that rejects John's call, that truly rejects Christ's call in the Gospel to believe and trust in Him, to turn from your sin, and unto Him alone for your salvation and forgiveness, then desiring to follow and obey the King?

In this special Bible study presentation, Dr. Bill Grady examines the modern controversies surrounding the nation of Israel through the lens of Scripture and God's everlasting covenant promises to Abraham. Drawing from Romans 11 and the teachings of both the Old and New Testaments, Dr. Grady explores God's continuing purposes for Israel and the certainty of His prophetic word.A central theme of this study is the powerful illustration of the prodigal son. Dr. Grady demonstrates how both sons in the parable—the rebellious younger son and the self-righteous elder brother—ultimately point to God's redemptive purposes, illustrating the biblical truth that one day both Jew and Gentile believers will rejoice together in the Father's house.This message addresses important questions concerning Israel's present condition, God's covenant faithfulness, the relationship between Israel and the Church, and the hope of future restoration promised throughout Scripture. Whether you are studying biblical prophecy, Romans 11, or God's unfolding plan of redemption, this lesson offers a thoughtful and Scripture-centered perspective on one of the Bible's most significant themes.

The Two Sons | Toby by Door of Hope Christian Church

Episode Title: The Parable of the Two Sons: Brother Mike delivers an uncompromising message on the Parable of the Two Sons. Speaking from Phoenix, Arizona, he takes aim at the modern trap of religious lip service, contrasting it with the raw, messy reality of true repentance. Through the lens of clinical counseling—introducing the concept of "behavior modification"—and an examination of original New Testament Greek terms, Brother Mike maps out what it actually means to do the Father's will. Whether you are a long-time believer dealing with silent conviction or someone who feels they have completely failed their calling, this episode offers a clear path to reboot, reinvigorate, and walk out a modified call from God. Key Takeaways True Repentance Demands Action: Genuine spiritual conviction is never just an emotional or attitude shift. In clinical counseling terms, true repentance must always manifest as active behavior modification. The Dangerous Illusion of Lip Service: The second son sounded highly respectful, yet completely failed to act. God values an imperfect path that finishes strong over flawless, polite words that lead to zero obedience. The "Bottom Line" Contrast: A look at monumental failures in scripture—comparing Peter and Judas. While both faltered dramatically, Peter's trajectory was defined by his decision to repent and return. Scripture References Highlighted Matthew 21:28-32 – The central Parable of the Two Sons and Christ's radical declaration that reformed tax collectors (telonus) and outcasts enter the Kingdom ahead of the religious elite.

Luke 15 reminds us that the parable of the lost son is really about two lost sons and one loving Father. The younger son was lost through rebellion, while the older son was lost through pride and religious performance. Both were far from the Father's heart, yet the Father pursued them with grace, showing that God's love isn't earned by good behavior or lost through failure. The gospel invites us to come home and rest in the truth that nothing can make God love us more or less.

Galatians 3:1-14

In this episode, we push on to Luke 15:11-32, where we read the parable of the prodigal son. As we work through the parable we identify the different individuals within the story, the repentant son, the reckless father, and the resentful son, and talk through how each of them resonate with us. As we discuss the older son, we identify our propensity to reflect him rather than the father in our willingness to forgive and seek restoration with those around us. Our invitation and challenge is to forgive and restore extravagantly, just as the father of the parable does, just as Jesus does.

Please SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube channel: The Tale of Two Sons: Spiritual Lessons from Karmelo Anthony's StoryOn September 6, 1987, Dr. Benjamin Carson did something that 23 other doctors had not been able to do. He led a team of medical professionals who successfully separated twins who were conjoined at the back of their heads. The same hands that had performed a medical miracle had also been used to commit violent acts. Dr. Carson said in his autobiography, "Gifted Hands" that he had stabbed one of his classmates when he was a teen. By the grace of God, the blade hit a metal belt buckle and did no harm. However, after this incident, Dr. Carson reflected on how his life could have gone in another direction if his classmate had been hurt or injured. After deep reflection, he began to read the book of Proverbs in the Bible which helped him learn how to manage negative emotions. This episode discusses what we need to teach young people to minimize or stop Karmelo Anthony's story from happening again.

Galatians | Galatians 4:21-32 | Chipper Flaniken

We welcome Darryl G. Hart back to Christ the Center to discuss Protestants and Patriots: Presbyterians in the Age of Revolution, published by the University of Notre Dame Press. Hart traces the transatlantic story of Presbyterianism from the Reformation through the age of revolutions, asking why Presbyterian polity so often became a political irritant in Britain, Ireland, North America, and beyond. The conversation ranges from Calvin's Geneva and the French Reformed connection to the Scottish Covenanters, the English civil wars, John Witherspoon, the American founding, the 1788 revision of the Westminster Confession, and contemporary debates over Christian nationalism. Along the way, Hart helps us see how questions of church government, civil authority, establishment, liberty, and public memory are bound up with the church's confession that Christ alone is head of his church.

Parenting is no easy task, and when it comes to raising children to live out their dreams in connection with God's vision for their lives, the challenge may seem overwhelming. That's where Shelia Erwin's ministry becomes essential. She is the founder and president of Raising Dreamers Ministries, and the author of Raising Up Dreamers: Find and Grow Your Child's God-Given Talent. With decades of ministry work and mentoring experience, Shelia shares in-depth wisdom about how she raised her two extraordinarily talented sons, Jon and Andrew Erwin. Audiences are likely familiar with the brothers' productions, such as the blockbuster movies I Can Only Imagine, I Can Only Imagine 2, TV series House of David, Jesus Revolution, etc. Shelia reflects on how she and her husband Hank dedicated their boys to the Lord even before they were born, how she cultivated her parenting style, and how she continuously trusted in the Lord. TAKEAWAYS Young mothers should watch other moms and see what works and what doesn't work when it comes to teaching their children There is no such thing as a perfect parent - everyone makes mistakes The book of Titus instructs older women to train and instruct younger women in the church Christians shouldn't be inferior to the world; they should be SUPERIOR and only Jesus can change your child's heart

The Tale Of Two Sons (Genesis 1-11)

Today, Will Carlisle is joined by Becky Matthews as we continue our study through the book of Galatians. Join us today on Our Daily Rhythm!

In the Gospel of Matthew (21:28-32), a father asks his two sons to work in his vineyard. The first son initially refuses but later changes his mind and works. The second son agrees to work but then doesn't. The father's will is done by the first son, who repents and obeys, while the second son, who makes a false commitment, doesn't fulfill it. This parable is used by Jesus to illustrate the difference between hypocrisy and genuine obedience, suggesting that tax collectors and prostitutes might enter the Kingdom of God before those who outwardly profess obedience but lack genuine repentance.

Grief is something every single one of us will experience, but most of us don’t know how to talk about it, process it, or move through it. Marcia Earhart, founder of Sterling Rose Sanctuary, shares her deeply personal story of losing both of her sons and how that unimaginable pain led her to help others heal. Morgan & Marcia talk about why grief looks different for everyone, the connection between grief, trauma, and mental health, how families can stay connected through loss, the idea of “incorporating” grief instead of being consumed by it, and why we grieve more moments in life than we realize.
