The Lost Younger Son | When a Son Forgets He’s a Son | Luke 15:11-24Series: Lost Preacher: Simon LawrensonSunday MorningDate: 24th May 2026Passage: Luke 15:11-24-------------------What if the deepest problem in our lives isn’t just the sin we commit—but the identity we lose?In this message from Luke 15, we explore the story of the lost younger son and discover that rebellion does more than break rules—it breaks relationship. The prodigal son doesn’t simply say, “I have sinned.” He says, “I am no longer worthy to be called your son.” His lostness is ultimately a loss of identity.Jesus tells this parable to reveal the heart of the Father toward sinners, outcasts, and those who feel far from God. Through the powerful biblical theme of younger sons receiving undeserved grace—Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, David—we see a Gospel truth repeated throughout Scripture: inheritance in God’s Kingdom is received by grace, not earned by performance.In this sermon we explore:How sin causes us to forget who we are Why shame isolates us from the Father The biblical pattern of lost younger sons The difference between rebellion and repentance The scandalous compassion of the Father How grace restores identity and relationshipNo matter how far you’ve wandered, the invitation of the Father still stands: come home.📖 Scripture: Luke 15:11–24
