In this powerful class study through Luke 15, we take a deep dive into Jesus’ most beloved parables—the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the prodigal son—and discover how they all point to the heart of the Gospel. More than just stories about repentance, these parables reveal a God who actively seeks the lost, restores the broken, and lovingly meets people exactly where they are.

This lesson explores not only the younger son who wandered away, but also the older brother who stayed close physically while remaining distant in heart. Through practical application and rich insight into the cultural background of the text, this class challenges us to ask: Are we reflecting the heart of the Father toward those who are lost?

At its core, Luke 15 reminds us of one simple truth: God wants you.

In this lesson, we examine the story of Jeroboam and how he reshaped worship to protect his own power. What began as small compromises led to a completely altered faith. This study challenges us to consider whether we follow God’s truth—or create a version of faith that’s simply more convenient.

In this Bible class, we take a deep dive into the story of Rehoboam in 1 Kings 12—a king whose pride and poor leadership decisions led to one of the most devastating moments in Israel’s history: the division of the kingdom.

We explore how Rehoboam rejected wise counsel, surrounded himself with voices that reinforced his ego, and ultimately chose control over compassion. His story highlights a timeless truth from Proverbs 16:18—“Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.”

Along the way, we connect this ancient account to modern life:

• The danger of echo chambers and only listening to voices we agree with

• The contrast between worldly leadership and the servant leadership of Jesus

• How pride can blind us to wisdom, consequences, and even God Himself

We also examine the historical aftermath of Rehoboam’s choices, including the invasion of Egypt’s King Shishak and what archaeology reveals about the immense wealth of Solomon’s kingdom.

This lesson challenges us to ask:

Are we listening to wisdom—or just what we want to hear?
