Luke 15:11-13
"11 And He said, A certain man had two sons:
12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living."
Last week we studied Freedom! We looked at the twelve brothers who's families became the twelve tribes of Israel. We saw how they misused their FREEDOMS and did some very bad things and still GOD used THEIR EVIL to accomplish GOOD!
This week we continue our study of young people in the Holy Bible called "Children of The Heavenly Father." This week we dive into the New Testament where Jesus shared the parable of the Prodigal Son. In this earthly story with a heavenly meaning we will see a couple more sons misusing their FREEDOM! The title for this week's study is "The Prodigals." We will look at ALL THREE PRODIGALS! We want to see how they live up to the definition of "Prodigal;" spending money or resources freely and recklessly; wastefully extravagant.
It starts here in the Gospel of Luke, chapter fifteen, verse eleven, where Jesus is speaking to "publicans and sinners" to the anxiety of the Pharisees and scribes; "And He said, A certain man had TWO sons: And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living." The younger son was disrespectful wanting his inheritance NOW. Very self centered and selfish.
When he gets his money and FREEDOM he goes WILD! "And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with RIOTOUS LIVING." He partied like a rockstar! Unrestrained revelry; loose; wanton. Debauchery.
He blew ALL his money!!!
