“Stuck” At Home - Sermon 27th July, 2025
Have you ever felt stuck, even while doing everything right? This Sunday, Pastor Paul Cunningham brings a message titled "Stuck at Home," focusing on Luke 15:25–30. In this often-overlooked part of the parable, we encounter the older brother: faithful, obedient, and yet filled with resentment. While he never physically left home, his heart had drifted far from the Father. His story reminds us that it's possible to be close to the things of God and still feel distant from His grace. This passage invites us to reflect on the quiet ways we can lose our way, through comparison, pride, or a hardened spirit, and how these things can keep us from fully stepping into the freedom of the Gospel. May this message draw us closer to the Father who welcomes all, both near and far.
Sermon Questions:
1. When was the last time you “checked/monitored” your motives when it comes to your relationship with God?
2. Is there resentment in your life that you need to let go of so you can experience the joy God wants you to have?
