Key Takeaways:

• A house is a building, but a home is so much more
  
• Home is an elusive ideal that can give us glimpses of our eternal home, yet is often marred by the Fall
  
• We must temper our theology of home with the principles the Hearth and the Threshold
  
• The theme of home in the Bible is interwoven with the theme of salvation since the Gospel is about God bringing us Prodigal rebels back home
  
• If our mission is to bring the Kingdom to earth as it is in heaven, home is a great place to start
