In part one of this two-part series, Dr. Christopher Passalacqua, one of Grace Gospel Fellowship's elders, breaks down the parable of the prodigal son to illustrate the effects of discontentment and sin, as well as our heavenly father's love for us, as the antivenom to our discontent.
The parable of the prodigal son paints a beautiful picture; a son, lost, discontent, self-absorbed, chosing to pave his own path only to find out he never should have left; a brother, discontent, jealous, self-righteous, feeling as though he's owed something, that he's earned something; a loving, forgiving father, so full of grace and mercy.
Dr. Chris dives deep into the details of this parable, drawing parallels between the characters and those who are of the law, those who are of grace, and God. |
