Whether you have wandered or withheld grace, this story is for you.

In this heartfelt sermon on the prodigal son, John Gunter teaches that Jesus’ parable in Luke 15 is not just about rebellion. It is also about restoration. This is the story of two sons.

• You cannot fully love others until you understand the grace you have received
• God invites both the rebellious and the self-righteous to come home

• Anxiety is human, but peace is available through prayer and trust
