The Prodigal Son and God's Lavish Forgiveness - Nathan Rages


In Luke 15:11-24 Jesus tells His most famous parable, commonly known as the Prodigal Son.  This message goes though the three parts of the story:
1. His sin (v12-16). 
   a. Rejecting his father.
   b. Living indulgently.  
   c. Suffering miserable consequences.
2. His repentance (v17-20). 
   a. Coming to his senses.
   b. Facing his sin against both God and man.
   c. Trusting in the father’s mercy.
   d. Following through with his good intentions.
3. His forgiveness (v20-25, 32).
   a. Welcome.
   b. Restoration. 
   c. Celebration.
