We spent our second week in Luke 15 and looked more closely at the older brother's response in the parable of the prodigal son. The older brother represented the "religious" people Jesus was teaching, and this brother's response redefines the concepts of sin and being lost. The father went to both sons, prodigal and older brother who did everything "right," and urged them to come in to join the celebration. Kevin reminded us that we are most in danger of being "outside the party," or outside God's will when we become more focused on what we are doing rather than for Whom we are doing it.
