Luke 15:11–12
There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’

Luke 15:13
Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country…

YOU LEAVE HOME

1. You leave the safety of home.

2. You leave the security of home.

3. You leave the blessings of home.

4. You leave the love of home.

Luke 15:13
…he squandered his wealth in wild living.

When you run from God you make bad decisions.

Luke 15:14
After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need.

When you run from God, you lose…

When you run from God, your plans fail.

Luke 15:15
So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs.

When you run from God you end up embarrassed and ashamed.

Luke 15:17
When he came to his senses…

Luke 15:17-20
“When he came to his senses… he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired men have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.
19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired men.’ 20 So he got up and went to his father.

Luke 15:20
While he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion. He ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.
