    The parable of the Prodigal Son is an amazing story, one of love, abandonment, and grace. It is the story of one man’s journey to find his ultimate fulfillment only to realize that the fulfillment was right there at home all along.

    We see in this story three specific destinations: Destination 1: The Far Country (v. 13) The far country represents the world and all of its attractions.

    In a world that thrives on lies, we believe in a God of truth who admonishes us to think on things that are true and to implement these in our lives. Only with the Lord Jesus is there true forgiveness for our sins, reconciliation and acceptance.

    We read in Philippians 4:8, “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” (ESV) God has graciously gifted to ...read more
