Im not sure how this guy can claim the elder brother was lost and alienated when the text says.. 31 “‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours."
Why add music? I'm what way is it important for our taking in spiritual truth, or is it better to be worldly and make Christiam messages more entertaining?
because the music plays on people's emotions. If it weren't for the music, some people might not like this video. Sad. Yes I'm stating the obvious. Actually, Jesus' teachings are clear to those who have ears to hear. The music is unnecessary, you're 100% right. And at the end of the day, the message here is unnecessary as well. The best thing to do is to get alone with God and read the story and ask Jesus to explain it to you. MARK 4 "...and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples." :D blessings
how daft/thick/pedantic can u be ? u'd rather major on the minor, strain the gnat yet fail to realize that you're actually behaving like the older brother in that parable. Incredible ! Of all parables you pick to comment and nitpick on, u pick this parable ! Irony of all ironies...the msg of the parable completely flew over your big head...whoosh....the saddest/hilarious part is that you think ur doing everyone a favour by defending the faith...erm, wakey wakey nope ur not...ur exactly the type of reason why ppl can't come home cos the elder brother is standing in the way bible bashing every prodigal who wants to return home, with ur big letter of the law. Next time when u sing in church, don't. Or if u plant a church, sack the entire worship team or just tell them to lip sync the hymn book with no music at all, cos u know, the weight of the words of the 17th century hymnists cannot be distracted/drowned out by the silly, unnecessary notes and melodies. This isn't consumerism, how dare u. Guard the sanctity of the Word with your lives ! Guard it with your 5 swords of the Sola ! Guard it esp. from the filth of the low-life and sinful peasants !
this is a video that was designed for a study, professionally developed and oriented toward a specific audience, not a seasoned believer. I've seen the actual sermon which has no music behind it and in another church they played this video as part of a series for new members who are m=coming form a media rich life, it was a seeker church. The object lesson with the table is really great for people who have weak visual-spatial ability and struggle to visualize things.
I love pastor Keller🎉 Praising God for his life ❤🌍
Music is is top notch accordingly with the Word.
great wisdom

Thé younger son has still lost His inheritance . The father tells his older son that everything he has is his
This is only the first half of the talk. You must listen to Prodigal God 2 to hear the end.
wow!

I agree with you B,
that's Timothy Keller delivering a profound message, no need for embellishment (annoying background music instrument)
