Welcome to the Vertical Church podcast where we want every listener to encounter God, learn how to follow Jesus, and in doing so learn how to experience freedom in their lives.
This message kicks off our Welcome Home series by digging into one of Jesus’ most iconic parables—but not the way you’ve always heard it. It’s not just about the wayward younger son. It's about two lost sons—and a Father whose love flips everything upside down.
Jesus tells this story to show that rebellion and religion can both keep us far from God. But no matter which ditch you’ve fallen into, the Father is waiting with open arms.
In this message:
– What if you’re more like the older brother than the younger one?
– Why Jesus redefines what “lost” really means
– How the Father’s love reaches both the rebellious and the religious
– What it looks like to truly come home
Whether you’ve wandered far or have been “doing all the right things” but missing the heart of God, this story is for you.
