ThornCreek Church
Do you know anyone who has drifted from God? Maybe they used to go to church. Maybe they never attended church. Maybe their relationship with God has just grown cold. This message series is for them.
We will be looking at a famous story in the bible called, "The Prodigal Son". For eight weeks we will be looking at this story through the eyes of the Prodigal. He left home to chase after the pleasures of this life, only to find out He could never outrun the love of his father, and discovered the true treasure.
It's a messy story of God's grace. Whether you consider yourself a "Christian", or you have no relationship with God, you will be changed by the story of The Prodigal.

Luke 15:31 NLT
"There’s a supreme irony in this story. The brother who was outside comes home and is welcomed inside to a feast. The brother who had never strayed, but who is probably hungry after working all day, remains outside, sulking."
- Steven Cole
QUESTION:
Are you outside or inside?
You can be just like the older brother when you elevate your opinion above God's perspective. Just because it doesn't make sense in your eyes doesn't mean it's not right in God's eyes.
You can get caught up in your own self-centeredness and miss out on what God is doing.
Isaiah 55:1-3 NLT
John 7:37-38 NIV
“Mercy stretches forth her hand to misery, it deals with demerit, unworthiness and worthlessness. Those who think themselves righteous are not the objects of divine compassion, but the unrighteous, the guilty and the undeserving, are the proper subjects for the infinite mercy of God.”
- Spurgeon
Matthew 9:35-38 NLT
