The Younger Brother

In the first half of Jesus's famous Prodigal Son story, we hear one clear message: God will restore any sinner who comes to him for rescue. But as we'll see, that title is a bit of a misnomer. There's not one lost son in this story, but two. The focus is on the younger this week as we consider the futility of living life "your way," the shape of true repentance, and the abundant grace of God for all who come to Jesus with their need.
