Welcome Home Week 2: The Filth of Freedom | Nathan Hughes
Freedom is one of the most desired things in life—but when we try to find it apart from God, it always ends in bondage. In Week 2 of Welcome Home, we look at the younger son in Jesus’ parable who traded the Father’s house for the illusion of freedom—only to end up in a pigpen.
Through entitlement, reckless living, and a loss of identity, his story reminds us that “freedom without the Father always ends in filth.” But rock bottom can also be the turning point.
In this message:
– Why entitlement disconnects us from gratitude and real relationship
– How “wild living” promises pleasure but delivers emptiness
– The danger of building your identity apart from the Father’s love
– How God’s grace meets us in our lowest moments
