πŸ“œ TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: Luke 15:11-24

11 And he said, “There was a man who had two sons. 12 And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of property that is coming to me.’ And he divided his property between them. 13 Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in reckless living. 14 And when he had spent everything, a severe famine arose in that country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to[b] one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs. 16 And he was longing to be fed with the pods that the pigs ate, and no one gave him anything.

17 “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father's hired servants have more than enough bread, but I perish here with hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired servants.”’ 20 And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.21 And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’[c]22 But the father said to his servants,[d] ‘Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. 23 And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate. 24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to celebrate.

Hey good morning my friends Carrie Green I'm back here to help you get your mind aligned with the truth of God.

0:14.4

That's the purpose of the morning mindset and I do encourage you listen to these in the

0:19.2

morning if you can because the place we set our mind first thing as we get out of bed in the morning

0:26.5

is usually the place our mind is going to remain.

0:30.0

So if we jump on our phone right away and we're in social media kind of reacting to what people are

0:33.9

saying or responding to things that really don't have much value, we're going to be continuing

0:42.3

in that vein throughout the day.

0:44.4

So it's important to start out the day with your mind in the right place.

0:49.6

Today I want to talk for a moment about this next step in the prodigal son's story and

0:56.2

it's not just that God forgave our rebellion and made us sons or daughters like the father and the prodigal son's story did.

1:05.8

God has gone a step beyond that story. He's taken care of our other problems as well.

1:15.0

You see, it's not just that we've rebelled,

1:18.0

it's that we are rebels at heart.

1:21.0

You see, it's a heart issue, it's not just an action issue. When Adam and Eve first

1:26.2

send by taking that fruit that they were told not to take, they didn't do so simply because it was a bad choice though it was that. Amen. They did

1:37.2

so because in their heart of hearts something had already happened. You see the sinful action flowed out of a sinful attitude, a

1:48.6

sinful bent to rebel against God, the source of all good.

1:54.0

You see, and that's where we are.

1:56.0

Our problem is not just that we have sinned, you know, like a verb,

2:01.0

we've done things wrong, that's not our only problem our problem is that

2:06.1

we are sinners and we are not sinners because we've done sins we are sinners. Do you see the difference? The source of our simple actions is our hard independent heart.

2:26.3

You see, that's the condition that really needs to be changed.
