What an awesome message! Here are a few of my thoughts:
- We are living in a Prodigal Generation that needs rescuing
- Luke 15:1-2 ~ Jesus' purpose was to be with sinners!
- Never let a church be about who you are trying to keep...be about who you are trying to reach!
- We live in a generation that wants to feel better about doing bad stuff.
- If the Pharisees were around today, they would be bloggers.
- There are 2 Different Approaches to Rescuing a Prodigal Generation
-preoccupied with whoever is missing -preoccupied with themselves
-operate from a context of forgiveness -operate from a context of shame
-throw parties -throw fits
-confront older brother thinking -criticize loving Father's thinking
-keeps the lights on for as long as it takes -close the door and turns off the lights
If we treated every prodigal in the way the loving Father treated His own son, what would happen?
Why live like the loving Father?
1. Jesus made it a priority!
2. Because You are a model!
3. Because You know a prodigal!
Who are you willing to reach no matter what it takes?
