Sermon Study Questions 9.7.25

Published September 4, 2025

Icebreaker Questions

1. The passage today had to do with God seeking out and valuing the lost.  When have you felt especially “seen” or valued by someone?  What did they do that made the difference?

2. A.W. Tozer said, "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us."  When you think of God, what are the gut-instinct things that come to mind?

Diving Deeper

1. Read Luke 15:4-7.  In this parable, what do we learn about Jesus?  Why do you think heaven rejoices over someone being saved?

2. Read Luke 15:8-10.  What does this illustration teach about the value that God places on us?

3. Read Luke 15:11-24.  Summarize this parable.  What does the father's response teach us about how God responds to us in our sin?

Life Application

1. Jesus seeks after the lost sheep.  Who is someone that God is placing on your heart to seek after and invite to church or share an encouraging word with?

2. If God’s love restores, what area of your life needs the Father’s embrace (habit, wound, regret)?  What concrete practice will you adopt (confession, accountability, Scripture plan)?
