Luke 15: 1-3, 11b-32. This morning’s gospel is known widely as the Parable of the Prodigal Son. But if we read it carefully we notice that the story begins, “There was a man who had two sons.” As the tale unfolds, it’s not so clear whether the parable is about the younger son, his older brother, or the father who will not let either of them move beyond the reach of his love.
Scripture – Luke 15: 1-3, 11b-32

Isaiah 55: 1-9. In this week’s scripture the prophet Isaiah invites the people of Israel to return to the Lord. He paints an extravagant picture of God’s generosity and grace. Isaiah makes clear that those who come back home to God will be received with open arms, and given all that we need and more.
Scripture – Isaiah 55: 1-9
