A message from the series “Sermons.” The parable of the prodigal son is likely the most well-known of Jesus’ parables, but it is really a story about two prodigal sons.

In this first sermon, we will focus on the first of the two prodigal sons and see how God is a compassionate Father who runs to meet us at the end of our prodigal road.
