Luke 15:1-2, 11-32
1. When did you leave home for the first time? Did you ever run away from home? Where did you go and what happened?
2. Growing up, were you the 'nice one,' the 'good one?' Did it feel like others were having more fun, even though they weren't as good? Do you have siblings where this was an issue?
3. Which brother are you most like? Is this the same as 10 years ago? 20 years?
4. What stages does the younger son go through on his pilgrimage? What brings him to his senses? What does he realize? How does he approach his father?
5. How does the older brother feel about his younger brother's return? Why? How does the father answer the older brother's objection?
6. What does this story teach about sin, repentance, and the love of God?
7. How do you feel about the father in this story? Do you think he did the right thing by giving the son his inheritance early? Do you think he did the right thing by throwing him a party when he returned?
