<b> What Is A PRODIGAL Anyway? </b>Even if you%u2019ve never read the bible chances are you%u2019ve heard the term %u2018prodigal son%u2019. Our pop culture society simply defines a prodigal child as a kid who goes out gets in trouble feels sorry about what they%u2019ve done and then comes back home to eat some <em>humble pie</em>. That is tragically painfully oversimplifying this beautiful story found in the Gospel of Luke.<b> Lost And Found </b>In LUKE 15 Jesus told three stories. Each story was masterfully crafted as only the Lord could do to illustrate examples of someone losing a possession (be it a sheep a coin or a child) and then the ultimate joy they feel when they recover the lost item. It%u2019s a remarkable testament to how our Heavenly Father feels about us when we return to Him.<b> There Was A Man Who Had Two Sons </b>In this bible study iPRODIGAL author Martin Blake Cole takes you through each verse of the story of the lost son %u2013 or sons as you%u2019ll come to realize. He includes real-life examples of humor and heartache involving his own two sons in order to illustrate some of the biblical principles found in this most-famous parable that Jesus delivered to the %u201Csinners%u201D surrounding him and to the Pharisees prowling close by. As much as this is the story of a father dealing with rebellious children it is the story of a relationship between brothers.<b> Rebellion Reckless Stupidity Disgrace Humility Desperation Repentance Acceptance Joy </b>This epic story covers the full gamut of emotions as each child turns against his father. While one child%u2019s return brings great joy it causes some deep-seeded emotions to erupt out of the other child. This bible study asks: Which person are you most like in this story? The rebellious child who repents? The ever-vigilant father who is anxious to forgive? The older son who is bitter with rage and resentment?
