Greater Life Church

Bro. Custer uses as his text the familiar parable of the prodigal son. Often when this scripture is used, we identify the younger son as a back slider. In truth, that prodigal son can be any one of us. We do not have to be back slid to realize that we have gotten too far away from God and want to come back. It is easy to think that we have disappointed God and feel like we are not worthy to return to His favor. The parable demonstrates to us that this is not the case. The father threw a party for the young son. The party was to raise the spirits of the young son and to help restore him to full status. The party guests can be identified as the members of the church. Bro. Custer declares that as church members, it is our duty to reach out to the “prodigals” in our midst and help to restore them to full status as a child of God.
