The Prodigal Son

Teaching Notes

‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ So, he got up and went to his father.

Luke 15:17-20 NIV

But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled

Luke 15:20b

 

While he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him, and kissed him.

Luke 15:20 NIV

 

“Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.”

Luke 15:21 NIV

 

‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate.”

Luke 15:22-23 NIV

 

The older brother became angry and refused to go in…

Luke 15:28a NIV

 

So, his father went out and pleaded with him. 

Luke 15:28b

 

“My Son”, the father said, “you are always with me, and everything I have is yours.

Luke 15:31 NIV

 

But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again, he was lost and is found.

Luke 15:32 NIV

Application

There’s nothing you can do to make God love you more.

There’s nothing you will do could make God love you less.

 

Conclusion

He is a better savior than you are a sinner.

If you turn around, you will be found.

 

We have to celebrate and be glad because our brother or sister was dead and is alive again; you were lost, but now you are found.
