There was a man who had two sons. Luke 15:11
So begins among the most famous of Jesus’ stories. The generous father, the prodigal son, the self-righteous elder brother - it is all very, very, very familiar. But the reason that it is so familiar (almost wearily so) is that it is so central to understanding what Jesus came do do, and how God is at work today.
Our aim this week is to allow ourselves to hear the story again in all its shocking, life-upturning reality. How do we experience, and even participate in, God’s amazing grace towards us and the whole world?
Every Tuesday evening, we gather together to talk about what it means to be Jesus’ disciples in contemporary Melbourne. Sometimes that’s a Bible Study, sometimes something more thematic, and sometimes something more reflective.
We eat together at 7pm - bring your own dinner, or buy something from one of the many takeaway options on the street - and the “serious bit” begins at 8. We’re done by 9:15
