No matter how far you've gone, no matter what you've done—you can always come back home. In this moving message from Luke 15:11–32, we explore the heart of the Father through the parable of the prodigal son. But this isn’t just a story about one rebellious son—it’s about all of us. Whether you’re the younger son, the older brother, or someone in between, God’s grace invites you to return.

With historical context, spiritual insight, and a powerful story of redemption behind the hymn “Lord, I’m Coming Home,” this message reminds us that God's love isn’t cautious or calculated—it runs to meet us with open arms.

💡 Key Themes:

• What to do when you’ve already done what you shouldn’t
• The danger of sin's subtle spiral—and the beauty of repentance
• God’s kindness that leads us to restoration, not rejection
• The radical, pursuing grace of the Father that redefines what we deserve

📖 Key Scriptures:

• Luke 15:11–32 – The Parable of the Prodigal Son
• Romans 3:23 – “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
• 1 John 1:8 – “If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves…”
• James 1:14–15 – The progression from desire to death
• James 4:17 – The sin of omission
• Romans 2:4 – “God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance.”
• Acts 3:19 – “Repent… that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.”

🎵 Featured Hymn:
