The Good Father

A Sermon on Luke 15: 11-32 by Pastor Jojo Ruba

Watch the sermon here.

Introduction

Our mother is our first home, our father is our first community. Mom provides a space to come home to, Dad calls us out to a great adventure in the world around us and prepares us for this new world.

Outline

  1. A father provides for our physical growth.

    -Inheritance

  2. A father provides our moral boundaries.

    -Moral rules provide safety; if we all follow the rules, we will live with little fear

  3. A father provides space for us to grow up.

    -Jesus was telling Pharisees to come back to him but they wanted to earn their place with good works like the older son, never exercising their right to celebrate.

Life Application

  1. Do you trust your Heavenly Father’s greater plan or do you want to do things your way?
