====================
✍🏽 SERMON NOTES:
- God is the source of all that you have. Too often we trade the eternal for the empty.
- Sin is pleasurable for a season, but that season always comes to an end. Famine follows.
- It is not until you realize your deep spiritual need, that God can begin to work.
- The parable of the sons showcases God's unconditional love, inviting both sinners and the self-righteous to repent and trust in Him, highlighting two groups: tax collectors and sinners, and Pharisees and scribes.
- The father symbolizes God, the eldest son embodies self-righteousness, and the youngest represents those being saved, illustrating the need for salvation from worldly living and hurt, anger, and religious pride, defining sin as trading God's gifts for temporary pleasures that lead to destruction.
- Realization of spiritual need is crucial for seeking God's intervention. Hitting rock bottom often precedes seeking God's presence.
- Awakening to one's divine identity leads to repentance and seeking the Father's forgiveness.
- The longer one serves God, the greater the temptation to feel entitled to blessings, leading to religious pride.
