lost & found: LOST SON

JOHN ELLIOTT August 18, 2024

1. Can you recall a time when you had to “come to your senses” and return to God? What motivated you to make that decision, and how did it change your relationship with Him?
2. How do your experiences with your own earthly father shape your view of God as your heavenly Father? In what ways might your understanding of God’s character need to be reshaped by this parable?
3. How can we apply the father’s example in our own lives when dealing with those who have wronged us? What does it look like to extend grace and forgiveness in a way that reflects God’s heart?
4. In what ways can our church community better celebrate and support individuals who are taking steps to repent and return to God? How can we foster an environment of grace and restoration?
