Show Notes

Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us.

Introduction:

  • Week 2 of the Prodigal Son series.
  • Last week: God desires our return.
  • This week: Even if the return isn’t perfect, a win is still a win.

Scripture:
Luke 15:11–32


Main Points:

  1. Things Get Worse Before They Get Better
    • The younger son dishonors his father, leaves home, and lives in sin.
    • Sin leads to destruction and despair (Proverbs 14:12).
    • God allows us to experience the consequences of our choices to bring us back.
  2. People Are Naturally Selfish—Even With God
    • The son returns not out of love, but out of desperation.
    • Many of us come to God for selfish reasons—but that’s okay.
    • Over time, love and relationship grow from that decision.
    • A win is a win—even if it starts messy.
  3. The Father Doesn’t Care—He Just Wants You Home
    • The father runs to the son before he says a word.
    • God celebrates our return, no matter how broken or selfish it may seem.
    • Confession is still important (1 John 1:9)—saying it out loud brings healing and clarity.

Closing:

  • Pray for the win!
  • Zephaniah 3:17–20: God rejoices over us and restores us.
  • Jesus has already won—we share in His victory.
  • It may not look perfect, but if someone returns to God, it’s a win.
