This five week series takes a new look at an old parable told by Jesus (Luke 15: 11-32). In many of our Bibles this story is labeled the Parable of the Lost Son. With our focus upon family during the month of February, a better title for the parable would be: The Parable of the Two Lost Sons. As we study this parable to learn how God relates to two lost sons, we will also focus upon how we are called to reflect these same virtues within our family and friendships. This practical and challenging series will focus upon how both sons rebelled against the Father--one by being selfish and immoral and the other by being carefully obedient as a strategy for rebelling against the Father. Religious people often live very moral lives but their goal is to get leverage over God so that He owes them and they can control Him. Our hope and prayer is that this series will help our families experience freedom, unconditional forgiveness, humility and help each of us love deeply within our context.
