Preparing for Sunday | September 11, 2022

Here is this week’s episode of Preparing for Sunday. We look at a piece of Scripture and ask questions about the text. Today we look at the text for September 11, 2022: Luke 15:1-10.

Here are some questions to think about as you listen to the text:

1. Think about a time when you were lost.  How did you feel?  How did you feel when you were found?

2. Think about a time when you lost something.  It could have been a person or something that means a lot to you.  How did that feel?  What did it mean when you finally found this thing or person that was lost?

3. Why do you think Jesus says twice that there is more rejoicing over the one sinner who repents over those who don’t repent?

4. Who are the sinners and tax collectors?  Why do you think they come to Jesus? Who are the tax collectors and sinners in your life?

5. Why were the religious leaders so offended? How do you think they treated the tax collectors and sinners?

6. Who is lost in this passage, the sinners or the religious leaders or both?
