The Lost Sons: A Tale of Grace and Redemption
Welcome back to another episode of the Post-Sermon Reflections Podcast, where we help you apply Sunday morning learning to Monday morning living, as we connect others to the love of Jesus and help them live on gospel mission. My name is Ben, and I am joined by my friend Liam. In this episode, we dive into the powerful story of the Prodigal Son, which our pastor aptly renamed the story of the two lost sons.
We explore the parables leading up to this story and the profound lessons they hold, especially focusing on the younger son's journey from reckless living to redemption and the older brother's struggle with self-righteousness. This parable offers a deep lens into the gospel, revealing the extravagant grace of the father and the need for both sons to repent and find faith.
Join us as we discuss how we identify with the older brother's heart, the dangers of pride and entitlement, and the importance of welcoming and celebrating the return of the younger brothers in our lives. We also touch on practical applications for living out this parable, such as extending grace, avoiding judgment, and celebrating those who come back to the fold.
Don't miss this insightful conversation that challenges us to be better older brothers and embrace the grace that Christ offers to all. Subscribe for more episodes and share this with anyone who needs encouragement or a fresh perspective on the gospel.
