The story is most often called the "Parable of the Prodigal Son"... but neither of the two sons are really the most important part of the story. So who is?
Jesus told a story which is now known as the Prodigal Son. But it's really about two sons and their relationship with their father. Each child sets off in life seeking a life of fulfillment and happiness. They take very different routes and in up in the most unlikely places.
There were two sets of people listening, worst of the worst and the best of the best. Jesus was addressing all of them in this story. In this series we will be looking at what Jesus was saying to each of these two groups about where they are at with God. That after all is a question that everyone wonders at some point in their life... I wonder what God thinks of me?
