Service & Worship Leader & Preacher David Roche

Collect
Almighty God, whose Son Jesus Christ is the resurrection and the life: raise us, who trust in him, from the death of sin to the life of righteousness, that we may seek those things which are above, where he reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
The Parable of the lost Son
This week our All Age Service will include a fun-filled dramatic presentation of Jesus’ story of the lost Son, featuring a star-studded cast from Young Church! We will then reflect on some of the amazing challenges arising from the parable, as we consider the three main characters in the story. Firstly, the younger son, whose blatant and cruel selfishness led him not only to set his own life in jeopardy, and having caused great pain to his Father, took him to the point of profound learning as he understood the truth about himself and the extravagant grace of his Father’s love. But was the older son not also lost? What are we supposed to imagine happened after the Father came out of his house, to beseech the older son to come home and join the celebration? How might we resemble either of the sons? Jesus’ story is a picture of the inexhaustible love that the Father has for each one of us, and his desire for us to remain close to him.
