Making God Smile

Hook: What brings joy to the heart of God?

Book: Jesus told these three parables to deal with misconceptions about God. His detractors reasoned that Jesus could not be from God because He associated with tax collectors and sinners. Just the opposite is true. The Father rejoices when sinners come home to Him. The first two stories reveal God’s passion to find the lost, while the story of the Prodigal demonstrates the vastness of His patience and grace. If that is the heart of God, it is no wonder He celebrates when you repent and help others do the same.

Took: What do the shepherd, woman and father teach you about your Heavenly Father? What change in you would make the Father smile? How could you help others find their way home to God?
