Opening Question: Did you ever want to run away from home when you were young?
Read Luke 15:11-24 out loud as a group, and again silently by yourselves.
Word List:
family property – the things children get when their parents die.
sin – living independently from God.
fit – deserving.
tender – gentle, sensitive.
calf – a young cow.
Discussion Questions:
1. How would you describe the son? And the father?
2. Why do you think the son wanted to leave home?
3. What does “wild living” mean? Can you think of some modern-day examples?
4. What do you think the words in verse 24 mean?
5. How is the human father in the story like our heavenly Father?
6. Does God seem a long way off or near to you? Explain.
7. What steps do we have to take to return to God?
