Love God, love people, and change the world. We believe the life and lessons of Jesus aren’t just good advice, but are Good News for us here and now.

Some stories in the bible are so well known, they have a tendency to lose their power from over-hearing. The story of the prodigal son is one of those stories. Yet, when we read it with fresh eyes we start to see why it has become so popular. It is a story of profound challenge and profound hope. In this sermon, Fr. Stephen explores why the story of the prodigal son should shock us into a greater trust in God and a greater love for people who wander far from the right path.
Scripture references: Luke 15:11-32
Preached on the Fourth Sunday in Lent, March 31, 2019 by Rev. Stephen Silverthorne
Sermon Highlights
- The prodigal son's ruin brought shame to his family
- The father's acceptance shows he doesn't care how his love looks to others
- God is more concerned with saving His children than with obeying our idea of fairness
- Both sons failed to trust that they were beloved children
- We can trust we are children because God says we are
- The story teaches patience to parents with wayward kids
Further Reading
- The Road to Wigan Pier by George Orwell
