Parables of Jesus Study Guide #2 (Parables of the Lost)



Share  your Highs and Lows for the week or since your last meeting

Read  the Lesson (Luke 15: 1-10)

Talk  and discuss among the following questions:

1) What image / person / situation stood out to you in the story and why? What did it make you feel or understand about God?

2)  In what ways have your felt that God pursued you in your life? How did you know that Jesus was pursuing you?

3)  Why does Jesus compare us to sheep? How do you feel about that? Why might it be a good analogy for people of faith?

4)  Do the actions of the shepherd, leaving the 99 to find the one, or the woman, when upon finding her coin, gathers her friends and neighbors for party, seem a bit ridiculous to you?  What might this say about God and his love for us in Christ?

5)  When did you last experience and feel joy?  Do you have enough joy in your life? If people of faith were the most joyous people of all, how might that effect others in our world? 

Pray  with and for each other (you can use the Lord's Prayer or sing the Doxology)

Bless each other by making the sign of the cross on each other's forehead and saying "The Lord Bless You and Keep You!"
