Overview
God goes looking for the ones who are hiding — and so do we!
Core Teaching
Before I tell you today's story — we are going to play a game. I have hidden TOY FRIENDS around the room. Your job is to FIND THEM! Ready? Go!
“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?”— Luke 15:4
Discussion
- •Have you ever felt left out or a bit lost? Who helped you feel found?
- •What does it say about how God values each person that He goes after the 1, not just maintains the 99?
- •Who at school feels hidden right now? You do not have to name them — just know in your mind.
- •What is the difference between the sheep that wandered, the coin that was passively lost, and the son who actively chose to leave? How does God respond to each?
