This week’s devotionals are from the “Preaching of Jesus” series in Mark Moore’s Quest 52. Jesus’s preaching was mind blowing. Crowds came to hear his teaching, his stories were subversive, and his training enabled others to carry out his mission. Slow down, read the text, and then let the text read you.

Have you known someone who was a prodigal who returned to their community of faith? What was that person's experience like? Could this have been you?

Why do you think it's difficult for "older brothers" to welcome prodigals home? 

Come up with a list of three things Northside could do to make prodigals feel more celebrated when they come home. 

What could you do personally to make prodigals more open to attending church with you? 

New to Northside and our daily devotionals? We will be following Mark Moore's Quest 52 for our sermon series this year. Learn more at q52.mynorthside.com.
