Jesus and the Prodigal Son | Focused on Christ Podcast (Luke 15 Explained)

In this episode of Focused on Christ, Pastor Nathan Smith and host Mike Crump dive into Luke 15, unpacking three of Jesus’ most well-known parables—the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the prodigal son. These parables reveal the heart of God: His relentless pursuit of the lost, the scandal of His grace, and the joy in heaven when sinners repent.

We explore questions like:
✅ Why did Jesus eat with tax collectors and sinners?
✅ What does the parable of the prodigal son teach us about grace and forgiveness?
✅ How do the father’s actions foreshadow the work of Christ on the cross?
✅ Why did the Pharisees—and the older brother—struggle with God’s grace?

This conversation will challenge the self-righteous, encourage the broken, and remind us all of the beauty of the gospel.
