Home: What it Means to be Lost and Found
Description
Pastor Ben preaches week two of the rhythm series on the life and teachings of Jesus, specifically targeting spiritual growth and inner transformation through the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15. The speaker emphasizes key moments of realization for the prodigal son, demonstrating what it means to be 'at home' with God—freedom to leave, acknowledging mistakes, the unconditional love of the Father, and the true status of believers as sons and daughters, not servants. He contrasts the reactions and hardened hearts of the Pharisees and scribes, drawing parallels to the lost elder brother. The sermon concludes with practical steps to cultivate trust and intimacy with God, encouraging believers to adopt spiritual disciplines like the Ignatian Examen to recognize God’s presence in their daily lives.
