The Vineyard
I am the vine; you
are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much
fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. – John 15:5
Luke
15:11-32
- How
would you characterize the behavior of the younger son?
- How
would you characterize the behavior of the father toward the younger son?
- What
is the older son’s reaction to his brother’s behavior, and his father’s
forgiveness of his brother?
- What
does the father do for both sons? When
the younger son returns, what does the father do? When the older son is upset, what does he do?
- What
does the father’s behavior teach us about God’s love? What does it teach us about how father’s
should love?
II
Peter 1:1-21
- Peter
tells us that we have everything we need for our Christian walk. What is he referring to? How are these things helpful for our
spiritual development?
- It
is evident that becoming a Christian is the beginning of a process through
which we are continually growing in faith.
How have you grown recently in your faith? If you haven’t grown, what steps can you take
so that growth will begin to happen?
- Peter
clearly remembers the words of Jesus and God the Father, as he references Jesus
prediction that he (Peter) will die for the faith, and also God’s glorification
of Jesus during the Transfiguration. How
does remembering the words of Jesus help our faith?
