In Week 4 of Welcome Home, we see what God is really like: a Father who runs to close the distance, covers our shame with righteousness, restores our dignity with authority and freedom, and celebrates our return with reckless joy.\n\nIn this message we explore:\n– Why the Father ran toward His son (and what it means for us)\n– How God covers our shame with a robe of honor\n– The meaning of the ring and sandals — restored sonship and freedom\n– Why grace doesn’t whisper—it celebrates\n\nThis is the reckless, restoring love of the Father. And it’s for you."}
