STB150 | BSE | Salvation: Our "Fall" | Cultivate Relationships

BIBLE SCHOOL EDITION — Nathan and Pastor Scott explore what salvation truly means, challenging traditional views of “the fall” and redefining it as humanity’s ongoing rebellion against God’s design. They unpack Luke 15 to show that every lost thing — a sheep, a coin, or a son — first belonged to its owner, revealing that redemption isn’t about earning God’s favor but returning to His heart. Together, they confront distorted teachings about salvation and highlight how reconciliation, repentance, and relationship with the Father are central to the gospel’s story.

They examine the Luke 15 story, contrasting rebellion and unrighteousness with religion and self-righteousness while emphasizing the Father’s compassion toward both lost sons.
