May 18th Small Group: Narrative

Hey 20somethings,

Tomorrow is Tuesday - and that means it's time for small group! We'll be meeting at the Shelleys' house at 7:30pm for fellowship, study, and prayer. I jumped the gun a little bit last week, but this week we really WILL be studying the genre of narrative (represented by much of the Old Testament & the book of Acts). Sarah will be leading us in our discussion, and we'll also be discussing our Challenge of the Week. If you missed last week (or have forgotten what we talked about), here's the info on our Parable/Gospel challenge.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Passage of the Week: Luke 15:1-32

1. What is the historical context?

2. Who is the audience?

3. What literary device(s) are used?

4. Compare the Luke passage to Matthew 18:12-14. What is unique to Luke's account? What things do both passages share?

5. What is the point of the passage?

6. What was the response that Jesus' hearers would have had?

See ya soon!
