The title of this Sunday's sermon: "The Trouble With Big Brothers". Are you a big brother? Or maybe you're a younger brother or sister or older sister? No matter, this Sunday we get to hear the story of the prodigal son. You know the one, it's about the good for nothing younger brother who ran off and squandered his father's inheritance, went broke, returned home and when he did his father welcomed him with open arms and threw him a huge party! His older brother, though, thought the party was a little over the top. His older brother was faithful and obedient. That younger brother didn't deserve a party! I mean, c'mon, a party? Where's the fatherly scolding? The stern look? The "I told you so"? Are we really supposed to welcome some good-for-nothing person into our lives with open arms and a party? Well, yes we are. At least according to Jesus we are. Come Sunday and listen and learn.
