Overview"Is following Jesus really worth it? At some point, we have all questioned our faith. We've asked questions like: Is Christianity worth it? If we go all-in following Jesus, will we miss out on the best life has to offer? But what makes us ask these questions in the first place? Why are we so tempted by the allure of a life outside of God's will? Thankfully, Jesus addressed these questions through the well-known parable of the prodigal son from the Gospel of Luke. In this story, we meet a young man who demands his inheritance then wastes it in a far off country away from the watchful eye of his father. When he finds that the world and its pleasures do not deliver on their promises, he determines to return home to his father. In this Bible study, Pastor Matt Carter walks through the parable verse by verse, showing that true life is never found in the far off country, but rather the best life is found in the love of our Father. The Prodigal Son Teen Bible Study Book includes printed content for eight small group sessions, personal study between meetings, applicable Scripture, ""How to Use This Study,"" leader guide, and other features.
