    There are some important lessons we can learn from the story of the Prodigal Son.

    It has always been tough to be a young person growing up. And it has always been tough to be a parent and raise children into adults.

    We live in a negative world. The Bible is full of positives. In the parable of the Prodigal Son & the Elder Brother, we see both optimism & pessimism.

    There Were Two Brothers

    Contributed by Guy Glass on Sep 14, 2004
    based on 27 ratings
     | 2,973 views

    There Were Two Brothers Luke 15:11-32 INTRODUCTION: This parable is the third of a trilogy of parables. The first parable in the group was that of the shepherd and the lost sheep. This parable told of the shepherd leaving the 99 sheep and searching for the one lost sheep. The truth communicated ...read more
