SESSION 14 - "The Parable of the Prodigal Father" THE NONCONFORMIST - 8/03/24

Join Roy Ice and The Bible Lab Global for an interactive conversation about the character of God. In this series, we take a look at some of the parables of Jesus. This week, we'll be taking a look at the parable about the Prodigal Father in Luke 15:11-32.
A free PDF of the study guide is available at: www.thebiblela.... Make sure you select the one for Session 14.
Join us each Saturday at 10:30 AM (PST). Roy Ice leads out in this innovative Bible study on the character of God from the Loma Linda University Church campus.
This week we will ask these questions:
• What does it tell you about God that He blesses us like a prodigal spends their wealth (recklessly, and wastefully extravagant?
• Jesus created a character in this story that the listening Jews would have no compassion for. He was cursed and got what he deserved. What does this say about God?
• Why does Jesus not tell a story about justice here?
• How is this example of God forgiving us before we ask different than the picture of God that you grew up with?
• What does this display about God’s character that He wants to shower sinners with honor?
• How do we act as if God has not already given us everything? How does that malign the character of God and his sacrifice?

@cestmoi1796 you’re correct there isn’t a parable but when you define the term prodigal, it fits the behavior of the father towards his sons and how Pastor Roy shares this story is very revealing of Gods love towards us. “ While we were yet sinners Christ died, literally pours himself out as an offering for us. 🙏❤️
