A Call to Worship
(based on Joshua 5:9-12, Luke 15:11-32)
People long for home.
The Israelites longed for the good land
and the rest of home.
The prodigal longed for his father’s house
and the peace of home.
God is our true home –
and God is our way home.
Let us turn towards home.
Let us worship God!
So he set off and went to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran and put his arms around him and kissed him.
Luke 15:20
