"Grace"

Luke 15:11-16

Bryan Jones

Over the next few weeks we are going to unpack each of the 5G elements that define a discple individually. This Sunday we begin with grace. Grace is God’s favor that we don’t deserve and cannot earn.  This week we are taking a look at a familiar parable in which Jesus gives us a great example of what grace really means. Most of us have heard the story of the Prodigal Son, and for most of us the focus is on the son.  We focus on his mistakes and on what he does.  But Jesus didn’t tell this story to focus on the ways that the son failed.  He told this story to show God’s radical grace. Every one of us has received God’s grace.  As disciples we must commit to extending God’s love and grace to others.
