a united methodist congregation.

questions

  1. Read Luke 15. What is your initial reaction to this text and/or to the sermon?  
  2. One way to interpret these stories is that the shepherd, the owner of the coins, and the father are the ones responsible for what/who is lost. How does that shift how we read these stories? 
  3. As you look at your own life, who is lost? Who is missing? From your dinner table, from our churches, from positions of power or important conversations? 
  4. What does it look like to seek and to search for those who are missing so that our communities can be complete?
