"What if this parable is indeed a story of lavishness? Not of the lavish living of the younger son in a far off land, but the lavishness of a father who spreads out his arms wide to embrace the son who wandered off and the one whose heart has hardened with resentment? It's the prodigal father who pours out grace upon grace. God is the one who searches out for the lost sheep scourers the house for a lost coin and then rejoices, not just a little bit happy...But an all out, no holds barred celebration--a barn-burner of a party." Listen as Pastor Nancy explores the familiar and beloved Parable of the Prodigal.
