Taking the Sermon Into Our Week 

Scripture of the Week: Luke 15: 11-32

From the Sermon:

For the life, death, and resurrection of Christ all point out that we are broken people in need of ______________,  forgiveness that can only be offered by a Savior. 

This young man would have been considered one who had_________ more than anyone could have ever imagined.

 The older son also needs forgiven, for he had a ______________.

We, too, are in need of forgiveness for there are so many ways that we alienate ourselves from _______ and from _________.

The starting point of all forgiveness isn’t us - it’s _________.

Reflection Questions:

What are you in need of forgiveness for this day? Take it to the foot of the cross. What is weighing as a burden on your heart? Hand it to Jesus.

Prayer:

God, we confess that often we make a list in our head, not of what we need to be forgiven of, but rather why we aren’t as bad as someone else. We confess that this distorts us from the truth - that we are all sinners in need of your grace. Forgive us we pray. Amen.
