In this sermon The Father's House, we take a look at this very interesting story that Jesus tells. We look at the three main characters of the story, and learn something about our heavenly Father and ourselves. The results of living away from God are always disastrous and nothing can prevent the ultimate consequences from catching up with us. The reason is that God’s ways are the way of life and joy and the way of rebellion is the way of self-destruction and ruin. The farther away we run, the worse the destruction becomes. As exciting as the outside world appears, the Father’s house is where real life and love are experienced. The world is the illusion; the Father’s home is the reality.
