This sermon opens a new series called Home Values, which looks at nine biblical principles for marriage and family life. Pastor Chris begins in Genesis 2:18–25, showing that marriage and family were not humanity's idea but God's design from the very beginning of creation, and that His design was declared very good. The main takeaway is that while sin has broken and distorted God's original design,…

This sermon walks through one of the most familiar stories Jesus ever told — the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15. Set against the backdrop of Pharisees grumbling that Jesus welcomed sinners, the story reveals a father whose love for both a reckless younger son and a resentful older son is far more extravagant than either son deserved.
