What happens when you feel lost, yet are assured of an unwavering sense of belonging? Join us as we explore the timeless parables of the lost son, the lost sheep, and the lost coin from the Gospel of Luke, with a special focus on my all-time favorite—the prodigal son. These stories vividly portray the relentless love and determination of a father, a shepherd, and a woman who seek to recover what is lost, reflecting the unchanging compassion and belonging that God offers us, no matter our missteps. We unravel the profound themes of these narratives, illustrating how belonging is never questioned, even during times of wandering and uncertainty.
The theme of belonging is a thread that runs from the story of Adam and Eve to our everyday lives. We reflect on how everything begins in a state of belonging and abundance, where our connection to God remains firm despite our deviations. Through these biblical parables, we are encouraged to embrace this inherent belonging and be reminded of God's persistent faithfulness. As you listen, feel a sense of peace wash over you, and consider this an open invitation to find community and solace at gatherings at Central in Elk River, where your belonging is celebrated and cherished.
