Welcomed, Forgiven, Restored

In this communion message, we look at the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15 and the Father's response to a son who had wandered away. Instead of shame and rejection, he was met with compassion, forgiveness, and restoration. He was welcomed home, clothed in the father's robe, and given a place at the table.

Through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, we are forgiven and welcomed into the family of God. Communion reminds us of the price He paid for our forgiveness and points us forward to the day we will share in the marriage supper of the Lamb at His table.

We are not only invited to His table. We are welcomed as His children.
