We read Luke 15 and 16 and listen to Jesus teach with grounded, blue-collar parables that make God’s heart feel close and concrete. We end by wrestling with how the realities of heaven and hell change our urgency to pray, speak up, and welcome people home.
• Jesus using earthy stories to help us relate to God
• Joy in heaven over repentance through the lost sheep and lost coin
• The prodigal son as grace for the rebel and a mirror for the resentful
• The dishonest manager as a warning and a lesson in urgency and stewardship
• Faithfulness in small things and the danger of loving money
• The rich man and Lazarus as a haunting picture of reversed eternities
• Our tendency to minimize hell and underestimate heaven
• Questions that probe how eternity should shape our daily choices
