The people around Jesus : "all gathering around to hear Him"
Why people like Jesus but not the church
The two lost sons : "there was a man who had two sons"
The younger brother's plan
Redefining sin : "all these years I've been slaving for you"
Two ways to find happiness
A deeper understanding of sin
Redefining lostness : "the older brother became angry and refused to go in"
Slavishness and emptiness
The true elder brother : "my son, everything I have is yours"
Redefining hope : "He set off for a far country"
The feast at the end of history
The feast of the father : "he heard music and dancing"
Salvation is experiential
