Luke 15
Act 1: The Lost Find Grace (v. 11-24)
Our Salvation Story
- We offend God (v. 11-12)
- We run from God (v. 13-16)
- We repent and return to God (v. 17-19)
- God graciously accepts us (v. 20-24)
Act 2: The Self-Righteous Find… (v. 25-32)
Self-righteousness blinds us to grace
- It leaves us jealous of grace given to others
- It leaves us incapable of accepting grace given to us
| The Younger Brother | The Older Brother | |
| Jesus’ context | Gentile Sinners | The Self-Righteous Jews |
| Personal context | Us | Jesus |
| Missional context | The World | The Church |
Big Idea: Jesus is the better big brother – He came for us. We should go get our prodigal brothers and sisters.
