The Other Prodigal Son. #3

                                                          "Cure for the Common Cold"
Luke 15:28-31
The offer is still on the table. The Elders heart was on things. If your needs are not being met, you can be tempted.  Not every blessing is God's blessing.
1Tim. 6:10 - The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.
The elder is controlling with his attitude by staying home.  But he is not into the Father. He should have been enjoying the Father.  He was in his own pity party. It fosters division.  His attitude exercises power over the situation.  Not love and forgiveness.
The Father does not let his son sour him.  He wanted everyone involved in the party.  
Anyone can have a cold heart!!!!  How to warm your heart.
1. Listen to the Father.
2. Start talking to the Father.  And not be critical and complaining.
3. Get back in and enjoy the father. Join the party.
4. The elder brother should get back in fellowship with his brother. Choose to be a blessing and encouragement.
Everything the father did is what the elder should have done.
Do people see you as the elder son?
