This week we're looking at Jesus' parable of the prodigal son, which is found in the Bible in Luke 15
0:18
A father's younger son asked for his inheritance early and received it
0:24
He left and then squandered it. When he ran out of money, a famine breaks out in the country he is in
0:30
And he ends up in a right mess eating pig's food. Jesus goes on to tell us that the younger brother, in the depths of his despair
0:39
stuffing pig food in his mouth, comes to his senses and says
0:44
How many of my father's hired servants have food to spare? And here I am starving to death
0:51
I will set out and go back to my father and say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you
0:58

1:06

1:11
