DESCRIPTION:When we hear the word “Prodigal” we tend to associate it ne
 gatively - in fact the word prodigal comes from the root that means “to 
 waste” and we associate it with - reckless wastefulness.\n\nThe story of
  the Prodigal Son is fairly well known and we recognize the younger son as
  “the prodigal” because after demanding his inheritance and alienating
  himself from his father - he left home and then wasted all of that inheri
 tance. Synonyms for prodigal are also careless\, extravagant and lavish - 
 all words we often associate with the younger son’s lifestyle.    \n\n
 However\, the story that Jesus told is about much more than the younger so
 n.   It’s actually about two sons who had each taken different paths an
 d alienated themselves from the father and his heart - one by being very v
 ery bad\, and the other - by being very very good.\n\nJesus told this stor
 y as good news to people who saw themselves as the younger brothers - the 
 “sinners” whose behaviour left them wandering\, lost and feeling like 
 “outsiders” to God and society.\n\nBut Jesus story is also good news t
 o the older brothers - the religious “insiders” who figured that good 
 behaviour alone guaranteed them blessing from God.  \n\nJesus story shows
  us The Father who loved both extravagantly\, recklessly and lavishly so t
 hat we can know and experience the “Prodigal-ness” of God’s characte
 r and His love.\n\nThis new series asks us all - Where do you see yourself
  in the story?
