Key Takeaways:

A house is a building, but a home is so much more
Home is an elusive ideal that can give us glimpses of our eternal home, yet is often marred by the Fall
We must temper our theology of home with the principles the Hearth and the Threshold
The theme of home in the Bible is interwoven with the theme of salvation since the Gospel is about God bringing us Prodigal rebels back home
If our mission is to bring the Kingdom to earth as it is in heaven, home is a great place to start
