The Father Who Runs Toward the Wayward

In one of the most beloved parables Jesus ever told, a runaway son returns home in shame—and finds a father running to meet him. But the story doesn’t end there. Another son, dutiful yet distant, also stands outside the celebration, unable to receive the joy of the Father’s heart.

In this sermon from Luke 15:11–32, Pastor Steve unpacks the deep spiritual truth embedded in this story. It’s not just about rebellion—it’s about relationship. It’s not about earning your way back—it’s about grace that moves first.

This message invites all of us to examine how we relate to God. Are we striving like servants or resting like sons? Whether you’re broken by sin or hardened by self-righteousness, the Father’s invitation is the same: come inside. Celebrate. You are loved.
