Coming Home: Not Everyone Will Be Happy for You
May 03, 2015
New Hope Community Church, Robbie Lankford
Luke 15: 25-32
#1. Some will refuse to celebrate
Luke 15: 25-28
#2. Some will focus on themselves
Luke 15: 29-30
#3. Some will ignore God’s heart
Luke 15: 31-32
It is possible to do some God-honoring things,
but not have the heart of God
Isaiah 29: 13
2 things Jesus is teaching us here:
- Don’t be so concerned about yourself
The great blessing is not what we get FROM God
The great blessing is simply being WITH God
- If you turn to God, you can have a party, too
Some see themselves as close to God,
but when they are in God’s presence, they do not even know it.
