Outline: 

I. The fathers reconciliation with the prodigal (v.20) 

II. The fathers restoration of the prodigal (vv.22-24) 

Quote: 

Sadly, slow are the steps of repentance, but swift are the feet of forgiveness.  

Application: 

1. When you have offended someone do you look forward to meeting with that person? When someone has offended you do you look forward to meeting with that person? Why or why not? 

2. How do you treat the "black sheep" in your family? If you were ever the "black sheep" how were you treated? 

3. Are you able to demonstrate GODly compassion when someone has offended you? How do you prevent anger and/ or judgement creeping in when you have been offended? 

4. Did you see the father differently after today's message? If so, how?
