Nearly two thousand years ago, Jesus told a simple parable about a father and his two sons. It was a story of rebellion, repentance, and unfathomable grace. This parable of the prodigal son stands out because it presents, in clear and inspiring terms, our struggle with sin, our need for repentance, and the Father s inexhaustible mercy and love for us. Even those who know next to nothing else about the Bible know something about this tale.
In this study, John MacArthur provides fascinating new insights into this parable and explores why so many of us recognize ourselves in its narrative. For believers, the prodigal son is a humbling reminder of who we are and how much we owe to God s grace. For those who are conscious of their guilt but unrepentant, the prodigal s life is a searing reminder of the wagesof sin, the duty of the sinner to repent, and the goodness of God. For sinners coming to repentance, the father s eager welcome and costly generosities are reminders that God s grace and goodness are inexhaustible. For all of us, the elder brother s attitude is a powerful warning that reveals how easily unbelief can masquerade as faithfulness.
This five-session video-based study includes re-enacted vignettes from the parable with accompanying teaching from John MacArthur. With this study, experienced and new group leaders alike will be equipped to lead a life-changing study for their group members."
