Guest Pastor Ricky Jenkins explores Jesus's parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15, revealing the Father's heart toward wayward hearts. We discover that God's compassion runs to meet us before we even finish our confession, showing that his love is never earned by good behavior or lost through failure. We learn that even though we often turn from the Father’s love like the sons in this story, we are encouraged to confess our sin honestly, and receive the Father's grace that welcomes every wandering heart home.

Luke 12:35-40

³⁵ “Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning,³⁶like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him.³⁷It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them.³⁸It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the middle of the night or toward daybreak.³⁹But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.⁴⁰You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”
