The Parable of the Lost Son(s): The Younger Son

Jun 16, 2024    Brennan Coughlin

Today's sermon delves into the parable of the Prodigal Son from Luke chapter 15, verses 11 through 32. This timeless story reveals two distinct paths of spiritual lostness: the younger brother's journey of self-discovery and the older brother's path of moral conformity.


As we explore this parable, we'll uncover the radical, scandalous grace of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Whether you're new to Christianity, have drifted away, or are a long-time believer, this sermon aims to provide a fresh perspective on the boundless love and forgiveness offered by our heavenly Father.


The father's unconditional love and acceptance of his wayward son serve as a powerful metaphor for God's grace. The older brother's reaction highlights the dangers of self-righteousness and the need for humility and repentance.


Join us on this journey to rediscover the essence of the Gospel, as we examine our own spiritual paths and embrace the transformative power of God's love. Let's dive deep into the crystal-clear waters of the Gospel and emerge with a renewed understanding of our place in God's family.
