We all know the story of the prodigal son… or at least we think we do.

This Easter message explores one of Jesus’ most famous parables—and reveals the surprising twist we often miss. What if the story isn’t just about a rebellious younger son… but also about the older brother standing outside the party?

And what if Easter is the announcement that God is still coming after both?

This sermon traces the movement from lost sheep, to lost coin, to lost sons—and ultimately to a God whose grace refuses to give up on anyone.

Because the real question isn’t whether we’ve been lost…
It’s whether we’re ready to be found.

📖 Luke 15

Palm Sunday is full of celebration—but also confusion.

In this message, we hold together two powerful moments:
• The parable of the unjust judge (Luke 18)
• Jesus’ quiet, subversive entry into Jerusalem

Together, they reveal something surprising about God:
Grace doesn’t always look like justice.
And peace doesn’t always come the way we expect.

As we step into Holy Week, this teaching invites us to reconsider what we’re hoping for—and whether we’re ready for the kind of kingdom Jesus actually brings.

🙏 A reflection on prayer, persistence, and faith
🌿 A different way to understand Palm Sunday
🕊️ A call to recognize the peace we often miss

We’ve all heard that the kingdom of God is like a mustard seed—small beginnings, big results. But what if that’s not actually the point?

In this message, we explore one of Jesus’ most familiar parables and uncover the twist we often miss. The kingdom of God doesn’t just grow—it shows up in unexpected places, disrupts our assumptions, and welcomes the people we might overlook.

Through the story of a healing on the Sabbath and a strange little seed planted in the wrong place, we’re invited to rethink what grace really looks like.

What if the kingdom isn’t about power or perfection… but presence, disruption, and radical inclusion?
