Welcome to Eastern Hills Baptist Church
We are so glad that you decided to join us in worship today. Here at Eastern Hills we realize that we are all in different places on our journey with Christ, and that's okay. Whether you are a seeker, looking for answers, or a long-time follower of Christ, you are welcome here.

TODAY'S POINTS:

1: Seeking the lost sheep

2: Celebrating the found coin

3: Restoring the repentant son

4: Pursuing the proud son

“If we think we have something to boast about before God, then we won’t see our need for turning to God in repentance. This man thinks his obedience justifies him before his father just as the Pharisees thought their self-righteousness made them right before God.”

— Thabiti Anyabwile, Exalting Jesus in Luke

Discuss these questions this week:

— What was your favorite game to play when you were a child (or if you ARE a child, what IS your favorite game to play?)
— Which of the four sections of these three parables resonates the most with you? Why?
— Is it meaningful to you that God is the One who seeks, who celebrates, who restores, and who pursues? Why or why not?
— Why can self-righteousness be such a stumbling block to coming to faith? What are some other stumbling blocks to believing the Gospel?
