God’s Grace: It Welcomes the Broken and Exposes the Proud | Luke 15:11-32

A sermon by Pastor Mike Trofimenko from Luke 15:11-32.

The Parable of the Prodigal Son beautifully reveals the radical mercy and compassion of God toward sinners who don’t deserve it. It not only shows how we can receive that mercy with a humble heart, but also warns us of the danger of rejecting God's grace.

Big Idea: God joyfully extends grace to the repentant sinner, but the self-righteous despise His mercy.

1. The Prodigal Son: Repenting sinners recognize their need and come to God in faith (11-21)
2. The Loving Father: God joyfully reconciles with the repentant sinners, celebrating their return with lavish grace (20, 22-24)
3. The Self-Righteous Son: The self-righteous sinners reject God’s offer of grace and despise His grace offered to others. (25-32)
