The lesson tonight was "The Prodigal Sons" Luke 15:11-32. Notice that the title of the lesson is the Prodigal "Sons", not just the son. Both sons are lost. In the parable Jesus is comparing and contrasting two types of lostness, one symbolized by the younger son and one by the older. The younger son was lost in wastefulness and earthly greed. The older son was lost in anger, control, pride and selfishness.
Next week (January 11th) will be the last lesson from the Modern Day Parable book. We need to think about the next lessons. Tonight we discussed the following options.

Both are 10 - 12 weeks long.
