The Struggle with Prodigal Children

Summary

This sermon explores the emotional and spiritual challenge of parenting "prodigal" children who drift away from faith despite sincere Christian upbringing. Using the biblical parable of the prodigal son as a primary reference, the pastor discusses the heartache of parents whose children abandon their spiritual foundation, emphasizing that true parental success is not worldly achievement but raising children who love Jesus. The key takeaway is that parents should focus on nurturing godly children, not just "good" children, and maintain hope and spiritual growth even when their children stray from the faith.
