Presentation transcript:

The Lost Son

Son- like you and me, people that go their own way instead of God’s. Older brother- like pharisees who thought they were good and always followed the rules Son- like you and me, people that go their own way instead of God’s. Father- like God who loves and forgives his son, no matter what he has done

Sin = Living as if God didn’t matter Sin = Living as if God didn’t matter. Doing things that hurt God or others. Forgiveness = not holding on to anger against someone because of what they have done to us. Letting them have a new start.
