June 16, 2024 Father’s Day
SCRIPTURE LESSON: Luke 15:11-32
Some thought from Today’s Message: Luke 15:11-32
- What an example of God’s love! Arms open and embracing us to be a part of the family again.
- We cannot grade sin. Sin is sin. God wishes for all his children to come home. He desires to restore what rebellion has stolen.
- He is a loving God and desires to see us return to Him. He doesn’t condone sin, and we stand on God’s word but He opens doors and He keeps the porch light on so we have an opportunity to come back home and be embraced by a loving God.
- Our Heavenly Father is not on the throne with a hammer ready to beat His children over the head. He is drawing us to Himself and we need to be willing to respond.
- That wayward child has to have an open door to be able to be welcomed back into the family, the same way that our heavenly Father is waiting his children to come back to Him.
- There is a consequence for disobedience, but that is not God’s desire, He will give every opportunity for us to “come to our senses.”
