The Love of the Father

Reread Luke 15:11-32

What are the differences between the sin patterns of the younger brother and the older brother?
Do you see similarity of your own life with one of the brothers?

What does the character of the Father look like in this passage? How does he respond to his two sons? What truths about God does this parable reveal?

What lies about the character of the Father are revealed through the son’s responses? How does our own disobedience to the Father reveal what we believe about the Father?

When we read 1 Corinthians 13 and see the character and nature of love as well as when we see how the Father responding to his disobedient children, what truths about God do we need to believe? How do you think the Father will respond to you?

What areas of my life would look different if I pursued the true nature and character of God the father?
