DIVE IN QUESTIONS

1. When we hear the Pharisees and Teachers of the Law \u201cmuttering,\u201d what connection to earlier stories might Luke mean for us to make?\xa0 How does that earlier story inform this one?\xa0

2. How is \u201cmuttering\u201d like Self-Righteousness?\xa0 Where do you \u2018catch\u2019 this sin, and what is it (self-righteousness)?\xa0 Are you every guilty of this?

3. How does Jesus change the story across these three parables?\xa0 Like around the idea of repentance, or the numbers and sorts of \u201clost\u201d things/people that show up in the stories?\xa0 What impact does that have?

4. In what ways can you see Jesus acting out this final parable of the Father with his sons through his interactions with the Tax Collectors and \u201csinners,\u201d Pharisees and Teachers of the Law in Luke 15?

5. The Father continues to invite us to join in the joyful celebration at the Lord\u2019s Table\u2014will you take your seat there and join the meal?
