Jesus Through Middle Eastern Eyes:
Jacob and the Prodigal Son
Sarah Joiner
In our five sessions together, we'll discover that the "Lost and Found" parables of Luke 15, are actually components of just one parable - where our Lord uses the saga of Jacob and Esau to create a new story, with himself at its center. Our Lord Jesus is inviting us to be part of this story of being lost and found. It is our family story. Our hope. Drawing on cultural details provided by scholars such as Kenneth Bailey and David A. deSilva, we'll plummet the depths of Luke 15, in order to cultivate a deeper relationship with Our Lord Jesus Christ - and each other.
