Welcome Home

1.   God Notices When You’re Missing - Have you ever felt overlooked or unseen in life? How does it change your perspective knowing that God notices you, even when others don’t?

2.  God Comes Looking for You - Can you think of a time when you realized God was pursuing you—through a friend, a circumstance, or even a crisis? How did that impact your faith?

3.  God Carries You Home with Joy - Why do you think many people assume they need to “clean themselves up” before coming to God? How does the truth that Jesus carries us change how we see salvation?

4.  Heaven Throws a Party - If heaven celebrates every time someone comes to Jesus, how should that shape the way we celebrate life change in our church, families, and community?

5.  Who’s Missing From The Party - Later in Luke 15, the prodigal son ran far from his father, but the father never stopped watching and waiting for him to come home. Do you know anyone who is running from God right now? How can we pray together as a group for them to experience their own “welcome home” moment?
