“The Older Son”
Luke15:25-30
As we continue in our message series, “Embracing the Prodigal,” we come to the account of the Older Brother. Here we find the firstborn son of the father going about his daily tasks, trying to do a good job for his father, but then comes home after working all day to find that his renegade brother has returned home and now the father is throwing him the party of all parties. Quite naturally, the older son is quite angry–and many people think that he is justified in this response. Yet as we dive deeper into his story, we find a fatal flaw in him that many today struggle with–do I share my father’s heart? I look forward to unpacking the story of the Older Brother with you all this weekend.
