The Joy of the Found | Luke 15:11–32 | Pastor Andrew Coleman | 03/02/2025

Pastor Andrew examines the Parable of the Prodigal Son, not just as a story of one wayward child but of two rebellious sons and a gracious father. It first highlights the burdens of being lost—shamelessness, desperation, and selfish envy—before revealing the joy of redemption. True joy begins when a sinner recognizes their desperate state, repents, and returns to God, mirroring the theme of joy in Jesus' parables of the Lost Sheep and Lost Coin. God delights in redeeming sinners, purchasing them with Christ’s blood, and this joy motivated Jesus to endure the cross (Hebrews 12:2). Believers are called to share in this joy, celebrating salvation rather than responding with the self-righteous resentment of the older brother. Pastor Andrew extends an invitation to repentance and a challenge to join God in His mission of redemption. ________________________________________ Links to Sermon Notes & Answers: ➤Sermon Notes (Blank): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_c2187764e1b34b0f9c9363838dbdd0e6.pdf ➤Sermon Notes (Answers): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_9778040724434049a1fd8dc54d4842c5.pdf ________________________________________ In this video: Review of previous sermons in series Main Points Application ________________________________________ Subscribe to this channel to catch weekly expositional sermons from the Bible. ________________________________________ Explore more sermons and information: https://www.sheridanhills.org/watch-new ________________________________________ Follow us: ➤Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sheridanhills/ ➤Twitter: https://twitter.com/sheridanhills01 ➤Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sheridanhills/
