The Father Who Never Stops Loving | The Names of God

Welcome to Woody! What does it mean to be welcomed home, even when we’ve made mistakes? In this message, we explore one of Jesus’ best-known stories, the Parable of the Prodigal Son, and discover a powerful picture of God’s love for us. The younger son makes a heartbreaking choice, demands his inheritance early and wastes everything. When he finally returns home, expecting little more than to become a servant, his father does something extraordinary: he runs to meet him, embraces him and welcomes him back with open arms. Through this story, we’re reminded that God doesn’t wait for us to get our lives perfectly sorted before he welcomes us. He meets us in the mess, even when that mess comes from our own choices. The message also points us to Jesus, who gave his life so that we could be forgiven, restored and brought into a relationship with God. Whether faith is familiar to you or you’re still exploring what you believe, this is an invitation to consider the kind of love that doesn’t give up on us. It’s also a reminder of how we can reflect that love in our own families and communities. If you have questions about faith or would like prayer, we’d love to hear from you.
