The Prodigal God – The True Elder Brother – Sermon IV of VI
October 15, 2023
Hello Kingdom Family,
Welcome to our Jesus-centered community. We are glad you are listening to today’s message.
“We are People Helping People Experience a Jesus-centered Life.”
Today, we continue our new message series, “The Prodigal God: Recovering the Heart of the Christian Faith.” Our message is titled “The True Elder Brother.” This sermon is IV of VI and sets the stage for the rest of the series. We unpack Luke 15:1-6; 25-32 (NIV) and unpack the most popular of the three parables in Luke 15, which included the first two parables, The Parable of the Lost Sheep and The Parable of the Lost Coin. This message should shock and move every person engaging in the scripture and teaching. In our message today, we look at the true elder brother, Jesus the Christ. We are all called to be true elder brothers, and the question is, can we be humble and honest enough to own it and, even more importantly, do something about it?

How does a Jesus-looking God contrast against the Christianity of American and the world abroad? How is it throughout history that so many people committed evil acts and atrocities in the name of Jesus and as professed Christians? Please join us as we learn how to accept our past and, in turn, share the true nature of Jesus Christ and what kingdom living looks like in the 21st century.
