Table Conversations for Digging Deeper

1.     Read Luke 15:11-32.  What are the similarities in the 3 parables of lostness?

2.     In the parable of the lost son (Luke 15:11-32), which son do you relate to the most?  Why?

3.     Verse 17 is an expression of hitting rock bottom.  Have you been there?  Have you been in that place of being at the end of yourself with all your resources exhausted?  How did you respond?  How did you “come to your senses?”

4.     Read Luke 15:20-32 again with a focus on the father.  What can we learn about God as a Father in this parable?

5.     God the Father is perfect, but our earthly fathers always fall short.  There are things about our relationship with our earthly fathers that might be painful, things we extend grace and forgiveness for.  Some of us have had to get healing for a “father wound.”  What about your relationship with your dad has skewed your perception of God as a Father?  What do you still need to forgive? 

6.     What about your father has helped you?   What about your dad can you be thankful for?

7.     Look up these verses and be encouraged about God as a Father:

• Psalm 27:10;  68:4-6

• Isaiah 9:6

• Matthew 5:44-48

• Matthew 6:3-15

• John 5:17-23

• John 10:25-30

• John 14:6-7
