When You Love Some That's Far Away

(This is the livestream of the entire service on 5/31/26. There was an issue with the audio at the beginning of the sermon, but you can get the full manuscript at revmarkreynolds.com.)

Have you ever loved someone who feels far away?

Maybe it's a child who no longer calls, a parent you've grown distant from, a strained marriage, a broken friendship, or someone whose choices have led to a painful separation. In this heartfelt message from Luke 15:11–24, Pastor Mark explores the Parable of the Prodigal Son from a fresh perspective—not only through the eyes of the son who wandered away, but through the eyes of the father who never stopped loving him.

Through personal stories, biblical insight, and practical wisdom, this sermon offers hope for anyone carrying the ache of a fractured relationship. Discover what it means to "leave the porch light on"—to love with grace, maintain healthy boundaries, resist the urge to control, and trust God even when reconciliation seems uncertain.

No matter how far away someone may feel, this message reminds us that love can remain open, hope can endure, and God is still at work in distant places.
