"The Lost Son(s)"

This past Sunday I was so encouraged by the drama, I believe it gave us a good visual for the message.



The basic notes I have are..



Luke 15:11-32 Jesus was telling this parable to the Pharisees to show them the error of their ways.



The prodigal son (the rule breaker) left his father with his inheritance and wasted it away. His attitude was that he knew better then his father. He was down and out and verses 17 said that he came to his senses and realized he was wrong.



Verse 21 is key verse because the son said "I have sinned" he admits that he wronged his father. This is what we need to do.. admit to God that we are sinners and we need his forgiveness.



The father was gracious and loving and took his son in. Like our Heavenly Father who is gracious and loving toward us.



Verses 25-32 The prodigy son. He was the rule keeper and was angry that his father had grace on his brother.



Many times people think that keeping the rules will get us to heaven, the Bible is clear that it will not. Ephesians 2:8-9

Other verses mentioned
Lamentations 3:22-24

God Bless and see you next week!!
