    Explore how Jesus' parable of the prodigal son would have scandalized its original audience, revealing God's radical grace and the crucial difference between healthy conviction and destructive shame.

    The Scandal of Grace: Conviction vs Shame

    Meilleure citation de The Scandal of Grace: Conviction vs Shame

    “

    Conviction says, 'I made bad choices and I'm in a bad situation.' Shame says, 'I am a bad person and this is what I deserve.' Conviction draws us toward God; condemnation drives us away from Him.

    ”
    H

    Generated by Hunsy

    Question posée

    Build a Christ-centered teaching on Luke 15:11–32 (the prodigal son): identify the scandal, the repentance, and the father’s welcome in the text. Then write a 10-minute talk outline with an invitation that distinguishes conviction from shame.”
