Message of the week 04-23-2026
LOST BECAUSE OF WILLFULNESS
If you have your Bible handy you might want to turn to Luke 15. Thus far in our study we have seen one can be “ lost from carelessness.” That is seen in the “Parable of the Lost Sheep.” One can also be “lost from uselessness” seen in the “Parable of the Lost Coin.” In this article we will focus on “The Parable of the Lost Son” from Luke 15:11-24. Remember, a parable is often defined as an “earthly story with a heavenly meaning.”
