The Parable of the Loving Father

from Central Speaks · host Hamilton Central Baptist Church, NZ.

Life Group Discussion Questions Text: Luke 15:11-24 What do you reckon is the hardest thing about being a parent in this day and age? Why do you think God allows us the dignity of free choice? Why not create us pre-programmed to behave in certain ways? Given that Jesus’ parables were aimed at teaching a key point, what do you perceive to be the primary lesson Jesus had in mind in this parable? What experience have you had of turning away from God and returning to him? Why do some Christians struggle with self-forgiveness and accepting the face that God restores them? What would be contemporary equivalents of the ‘robe’, ‘ring’ and ‘shoes’ that the father put on his son (v.22)? What will you do differently this week for considering this passage of Scripture?

We come together each week as a university community to worship and glorify God, to build community among the entire university, and to inform and teach concerning the areas of faith and learning. The chapel experience is the central and focal event of the university - a time when we give public expression to who we are as a community. Expectant celebration which incorporates praise and participation and creative forms of worship characterize each service. University Chapel takes place on Wednesday. These services are more traditional in nature and often involve the chapel choir and other leadership from Union's music department. Chapels on Friday mornings are more contemporary in style and are primarily student led.
