Letting Go of Selfishness & Cultivating Compassion | Spiritual Gardening for Renewal

In this sermon, we dive into the parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32), where Jesus challenges us to let go of selfishness and cultivate a heart of compassion. The story of the father’s unconditional love for both sons illustrates how compassion requires releasing our judgments and embracing others with grace. Drawing on Brené Brown's *The Gifts of Imperfection*, we reflect on how vulnerability and empathy allow us to move past self-centeredness and foster deeper, more meaningful connections. By letting go of selfishness and choosing compassion, we align ourselves more closely with God’s loving heart and become agents of healing and reconciliation.
