In “Lost & Found: Lost Son Part 2” based on Luke 15:25–32, Pastor Daniel focused on the often-overlooked older brother, whose anger and resentment reveal how easy it is to miss the heart of the Father even while faithfully serving Him. The sermon emphasized that the older son’s refusal to join the celebration exposed a spirit of entitlement, comparison, and self-righteousness, as he measured his worth by his obedience and judged his brother by his failures. Pastor Daniel reminded the congregation that God’s grace is not earned through good behavior but freely given to all who come to Him. Just as the father lovingly pursued the younger son, he also went out to invite the older son into the joy of reconciliation. The message challenged listeners to examine their own hearts, let go of resentment and comparisons, and celebrate God’s transforming grace in the lives of others, recognizing that the Father’s desire is for all His children to come home and share in His joy.
