The Little Things

Week 4: Pastor Zach Taylor

Title: Define the Relationship

Scripture:  Luke 15:4, John 10:11, Luke 15:8-9, Luke 15:11-14, Luke 15:20, 21-22


Big Ideas:  

“Our rescue didn’t cost us anything but that doesn’t mean it was free.”
“Value is not determined by who you are or what you have done, but by whose you are and what He has done.”
“Stop calling trash what God values as treasurer.”
“Stop living like a slave because God has called you His son.”

Questions:

1.After reading Luke 15:11-14, The lost son, the father in the story represents God, read verse 20.  You’ll notice that the father doesn’t care if he looks foolish, he just wants his son back home.  Is this view of God different than how you usually picture Him?

2. Read Luke 15:21-22.  How does the son respond?  

3.Describe a time where you tried to make up for something you’ve done.

4.How did the son see himself?  (Son or Slave?)

5.How can seeing yourself as a son/daughter affect your relationship with Jesus?
