What if the story of the Prodigal Son isn’t just about rebellion… but about self-righteousness too? In this message from Luke 15, we walk through one of Jesus’ most well-known parables—the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the two lost sons—and ask a deeply personal question: Where do you show up in the story? This sermon challenges both the prodigal and the faithful churchgoer, revealing that both sons wanted the things of the Father without the heart of the Father. Through humor, cultural insight, and a powerful call to repentance, this message invites us to stop standing outside the celebration and join the party God is throwing for the lost. In this message, you’ll explore:Why Jesus tells three stories of being lost before the Prodigal SonThe danger of self-righteousness and “doing everything right”What true repentance and true belief actually produceWhy God celebrates repentance more than performanceHow love—not labels—is meant to be the defining mark of Christians This is a message about grace. About faith that moves beyond words. About love that shows up with hands and feet. And ultimately, it asks one unavoidable question: Will you join the party, or stay outside?
