From Rebellion to Restoration: Discovering God's Radical Love

God is not a far off, distant God. He is a living flame of love who is calling out to us with an invitation to experience the depth of His love.

Key Takeaways:

#1: Recognize your need for God. 

You can live for yourself, but it never ends well. Life is better in the Father’s house.

#2: Remember God’s extravagant grace. 

No matter where you’ve been or what you’ve done or how long you’ve been gone, His salvation is for you! 

#3: Repent of being the older brother.

Don’t let your heart grow cold. Allow yourself to be crucified so that you can see the Father’s heart toward others.

#3: Have I found myself acting like the older brother, resentful or judgmental of others? How can I cultivate a heart of celebration and compassion instead?
