The Road Home: Reflections of a Prodigalනියැදිය

As we explore our themes of repentance, returning, and rejoicing, we will anchor ourselves in the parable of the Prodigal Son. We will read it several times throughout the course of this study, along with other passages that will highlight a specific theme.

Throughout this story, what are some of the emotions that you see motivating the father in this story?

What about the younger son? What is fueling his actions?

Finally, the older son – what is driving his strong response?

Can you locate yourself in this narrative? What is the Lord saying to you?
