Small Group Guide 

Luke 15:11-24

1. Guilt and shame are not the same thing and must be  addressed differently and separately.

2. We must deal with guilt before we can deal with shame.

3. Dealing with guilt requires repentance which involves  confession and often absolution.  

4. Dealing with shame requires returning to the Father.

5. As we run to the Father He runs toward us with...

A. A robe—to cover our shame

B. A ring—to restore our dignity

C. Sandals—to assure our freedom!

6. We are not what  we’ve done, we are who the Father says! His loved and valued child!
