No matter how far we run, the Father’s love never stops pursuing us. In this message, Pastor CB teaches from Luke 15:11–24 and unpacks the powerful story of the prodigal son, a passage that holds special significance in his own faith journey. This is the sermon that led Pastor CB to give his life to Jesus at just seven years old and, remarkably, the first time he has ever preached it.
Through this familiar parable, we see the heart of our compassionate Father, the reality of our rebellious nature, and the extravagant reward of God’s grace for those who return to Him. Whether you’ve wandered far or stayed close, this message is a reminder that God’s mercy is greater than our failures and His love welcomes us home. Lean in as we discover the incredible reward waiting for every repentant rebel.
