Our Prodigal God

Have you ever thought about God as being prodigal?  That was the topic for discussion this week at Ecclesia.  When we look at the "Parable of the Prodigal Son," it can give us insight into the larger narrative of all of scripture (Genesis to Revelation).  Jesus is essentially summarizing the Old Testament through this story, then turning that interpretation on its head.  If you missed it, check out the entire message here.  Then, take some time to think about the following questions:

• What reactions do you have to the description of a “Prodigal God?”
• Today, we talked about the “bigger picture” in regards to the Bible.  What difference does that make in your life?  Where do you see yourself in that story?
• Are there areas of unconfessed sin in your life?  If so, do you need to do something them?  What is that?
