Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us.
Introduction:
- Week 2 of the Prodigal Son series.
- Last week: God desires our return.
- This week: Even if the return isn’t perfect, a win is still a win.
Scripture:
Luke 15:11–32
Main Points:
- Things Get Worse Before They Get Better
- The younger son dishonors his father, leaves home, and lives in sin.
- Sin leads to destruction and despair (Proverbs 14:12).
- God allows us to experience the consequences of our choices to bring us back.
- People Are Naturally Selfish—Even With God
- The son returns not out of love, but out of desperation.
- Many of us come to God for selfish reasons—but that’s okay.
- Over time, love and relationship grow from that decision.
- A win is a win—even if it starts messy.
- The Father Doesn’t Care—He Just Wants You Home
- The father runs to the son before he says a word.
- God celebrates our return, no matter how broken or selfish it may seem.
- Confession is still important (1 John 1:9)—saying it out loud brings healing and clarity.
Closing:
- Pray for the win!
- Zephaniah 3:17–20: God rejoices over us and restores us.
- Jesus has already won—we share in His victory.
- It may not look perfect, but if someone returns to God, it’s a win.
