Redefining Safe (Luke 15)
This week, we continue our series titled "The Heartbeat of God, the Heartbeat of Our Church" where we study how Jesus describes the heart of God and how the church can mirror it.
In the parable of the prodigal son, we see a request made that would have been shocking in Jesus' day. We see the father giving his son what he asked for and more, since it would come at great cost for the father. When the son finally does return, the father can only respond with extravagant love, which opened the way for the son's repentance. And ultimately, Jesus' comparison of the younger, reckless son to the older responsible son reveals that the safe one might not be the older brother who thought he did everything right.
