GOING THE DISTANCE TO GET SOME BREAD

Text: (Lu.15:l 1-32) Text v.17

How far would you go to get some Bread? Would you go the Distance like the Prodigal?

Three Things about the Prodigal:

1. He was: Running Over v. 12 (had more than he needed, had more than the could handle)

2. He was: Running Off v.13 (left home)

3. He was: Running Out v.14 (began to be in want)

To go the Distance to get some Bread, a person must:

1. RECOGNIZE v.17

A. He recognized Who he Was (still a son, still had a father, still had a home)

B. He recognized Where he Was (in a far countly)

2. RISE v.18 (I will arise)

3. RETURN v.20 (it is not enough just to rise, a person must return)

4. REPENT v.21

5. RECEIVE v.20

6. ROBE v.22

A. He was Robed

B. He was Ringed

C. He was Shewed (shod)

7. REJOICE v.23

The Prodigal's Father:

1. DRESSED HIM v.22

2. DELIGHTED IN HIM v.23

3. DINED WITH HIM v.23

Notice: THE PARTY IS GOING ON EVEN IF THE ELDER SON REFUSES TO JOIN IN
