The Parables Of Jesus - Week 5

- Read James 1:17 — Every good gift comes from God. Which of God’s gifts are you most tempted to enjoy more than God Himself?

- Read Luke 15:11–16 — The younger son used what came from his father to build a life apart from him. Where are you tempted to use God’s money, freedom, influence, relationships, or grace without including Him?

- Read James 1:13–15 — Sin rarely destroys a life all at once; it usually works through a series of smaller choices. What “small opening” in your life could become more destructive if lleft unchecked?

- Read Luke 15:17–24 — The father interrupted the son’s negotiation, but not his confession. Why do we sometimes try to earn our way back to God instead of simply receiving His grace?

- Read Romans 8:14–17 — Do you tend to approach God more like a child who is loved or an employee trying to prove your worth? What would it look like for you to “come
home” to the Father this week?
