Sermon of the week. Sons not servants. Pt 1.

God paints us an amazing picture when we look into the story of the prodigal son. We know the story where this son takes all the father gave him and goes out and wasted it all on worldly living. He finally comes to himself and makes a plan to go back to his father. The plan: Ill come back as a servant and try to work myself back into the family somehow. Thats what we do too. When we know we have taken all the Father has given to us and we run off into the world and waste it, trying to live with one foot in the world and we eventually find ourselves unsatisfied and longing for that relationship again. We have been led to believe that if we would just try to come back and sneak in and just serve and sacrifice and work hard enough that God might allow you to come back into the family. What a LIE! Just as this young man discovered, the father wanst going to allow him to come back as a servant because YOU ARE A SON! He gave him 3 things that allowed him to be able to get back into his rightful position as a son. Lets talk about it. Today, the robe.
