Ep. 136: Jesus & the Prodigal

Jesus and the Prodigal Son | Focused on Christ Podcast (Luke 15 Explained)In this episode of Focused on Christ, Pastor Nathan Smith and host Mike Crump dive into Luke 15, unpacking three of Jesus’ most well-known parables—the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the prodigal son. These parables reveal the heart of God: His relentless pursuit of the lost, the scandal of His grace, and the joy in heaven when sinners repent.We explore questions like:✅ Why did Jesus eat with tax collectors and sinners?✅ What does the parable of the prodigal son teach us about grace and forgiveness?✅ How do the father’s actions foreshadow the work of Christ on the cross?✅ Why did the Pharisees—and the older brother—struggle with God’s grace?This conversation will challenge the self-righteous, encourage the broken, and remind us all of the beauty of the gospel.📖 Scripture: Luke 15 – The Lost Sheep, The Lost Coin, The Prodigal Son🎧 Episode 136 – Jesus and the Prodigal✦ If you’re looking for:Luke 15 Bible studyParable of the Prodigal Son explainedWhat does it mean that Jesus ate with sinners?Parables of Jesus explained…this episode is for you!🙏 Subscribe for more Christ-centered teaching and encouragement.🔗 Connect with us: focusedonchrist.com#ProdigalSon #Luke15 #ParablesOfJesus #FocusedOnChrist #BibleStudy
