Coming Home Pt. 1 // Invitation to Return

Discover the life-changing message of the prodigal son parable and how it reveals God's incredible love for you. This powerful Bible story shows us how we all wander from God's love in both obvious and subtle ways, searching for security, significance, and belonging in the wrong places. Learn about the two types of spiritual lostness represented by the younger son's rebellion and the older brother's religious distance. Many Christians today struggle with older brother syndrome—doing good things while missing genuine intimacy with God. Explore practical ways to come home to the Father's love through prayer, fasting, and spiritual practices that create holy hunger. This message addresses common struggles like fear of missing out, people-pleasing, performance-based Christianity, and spiritual dryness. Perfect for anyone seeking deeper relationship with God, understanding God's grace, or looking for spiritual renewal in the new year. Topics covered include biblical parables, Christian living, spiritual growth, God's love, repentance, forgiveness, prayer life, fasting, spiritual disciplines, and finding purpose in faith. Whether you're dealing with obvious sin or subtle spiritual distance, discover how the Father is waiting with open arms for your return. Learn to recognize where you might be seeking fulfillment outside God's love and how to develop practices that draw you closer to Him. This encouraging message reminds us that coming home to God is not about earning His favor but simply saying "Father I need You and I want You."

This sermon was recorded at a Sunday morning gathering at Church of the Lookout in Longmont, Colorado.
