“The Prodigal Father”

Luke 15:11-32

Two false ways to find happiness

1)  The path of self-discovery

2)  The path of self-righteousness

One true way to find happiness: The gospel

“Prodigal” = Recklessly extravagant or spendthrift

The Prodigal Father: “The father said to his servants, ‘Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate. For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found’” (Luke 15:22-24).
