Highlights:
1.) The father knew his sons heart and God knows ours too. His priority is our hearts!
2.) When who I am is defined by what I have, then when what I have runs out, I no longer know who I am.
3.) When the son traded what he had for what he wanted, he became a slave of what he wanted. When we live to get what we want, we are on course to get what we deserve.
4.) God could have chosen punishment, but instead He chose Grace.
Discussion Questions:
1.) Can you think of a time when you were in real want/need? What did that experience do in your heart? In your relationship with the Lord?
2.) Do you remember your wake up call? Where were you? What change, if any, did it make in your life?
3.) The Religious Son (outwardly looks good but inwardly poison with secret sin) or the Rebellious Son (outwardly rebellious) which one have you been or have the tendency to lean?
Key Scriptures:
Parable of the Prodigal Son:
Luke 15:11-32
Then He said: “A certain man had two sons. And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me. ’ So he divided to them his livelihood. And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living. But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want.
Luke 15:11-14 NKJV
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord , thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Jeremiah 29:11 NKJV
