Pastor Hunter reminded us that this parable reveals the heart of God — a Father who runs toward the broken, welcomes the repentant, and celebrates what was once lost being found. We were challenged to remember our own lostness, reframe what faithfulness looks like, and realign our hearts to celebrate what heaven celebrates. Whether we relate more to the wandering younger son or the resentful older brother, the invitation is the same: return to the Father’s love and join the joyful mission of welcoming others home.\n✍️ Notes\n'Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them. “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything. “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ So he got up and went to his father. “But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/2rS6CncygjSrU4_eAytDXGn13c_aC8wKWWeu0LjCRnQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS81OTgy/MDQxMzg5MTZiY2M3/MzMxYjY2OWU4N2U0/ZTA0Ni5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
