7/11/13 Lesson Nine ~ Choosing Intimate Relationship over Routine Religion ~ Day 4



Day four of each week has extra Bible study questions that are not in the Bible Study Guide. These are for on-line Bible study participants who want to dig a little deeper.

1. What was the father’s response to the son’s apologetic plea, repentant heart, and request for a job?
Try to describe what you think was going through the son’s mind as his father restored his position as a son. Share your answer in the comment box.

2. Feasting on the fatted calf was only done for special occasions and parties. Usually the entire village was invited. How does this idea relate to Luke 15:8-10, especially verse 10? Who rejoices when a person is reunited with God?

3. One more snapshot. Flip over to Luke 18:9-14. To whom was Jesus speaking?
Describe the two men praying?

How do these two men reflect the attitudes of the two sons in Luke 15?

Which one was more interested in practicing religion and which one was more concerned with a restored intimate relationship with God?

Which one better reflects your attitude in prayer?

Share one truth that impacted you through today’s lesson.
