Study Questions for October 27, 2024
Read Luke 15:11-32
What do you observe in 15:25 that describes the immediate context of the older brother with the rest of the characters in the parable?
Can you find common ground with the older brother's posture?
Can you think of a particular time you were like the older brother? Why does that memory stay with you? Why did you feel/respond that way?
"Last week we saw that the grace of God is excessive. Here we see that the grace of God is offensive." Do you agree with this? The older brother in us wants to earn the father's love/approval/benefits on his merit. What does this say about the difference between the closeness of the older brother to the father but not with the father?
What are you doing to not only look close to God but enjoy a real relationship with God? Is it possible for you to celebrate the grace of God when someone else gets it? Why or why not?
