Pastor David’s sermon is a reflection on Luke 15, focusing on the parable of the Prodigal Son. He begins by reminding us not to forget the simple yet profound truths in the Bible, especially in the hustle of daily life. He emphasizes that church is a place for transformation, where people should seek God to change their hearts.
The sermon explores the story of a father with two sons. The younger son demands his inheritance, which is equivalent to wishing his father were dead. The son leaves, squanders everything on reckless living, and eventually finds himself in need, even wishing he could eat the food given to pigs. In his lowest moment, he realizes the error of his ways and decides to return home, hoping to be accepted as a servant.
As the son returns, his father runs to meet him, embracing him with love and forgiveness. The father restores the son’s dignity by giving him a robe, symbolizing honor, a ring, representing authority, and sandals, which signify freedom. This act of grace shows that the father’s love is unconditional, erasing the son’s shame.
Pastor David highlights that this story is a mirror of God’s love for humanity. No matter how far people stray or how deep their mistakes, God is always ready to embrace, forgive, and restore them. He encourages us to not let pride or guilt keep us from returning to God, as His grace covers all. The message concludes with an invitation to “come home” to God, no matter where people find themselves in life, because His love is always there, waiting to restore them to a better life.
