Talk About the Bible Story

Story of the Lost Sheep
Luke 15:1-7

Jesus tells a parable about a shepherd and his lost sheep to teach us about God's love.

“A joyful heart is good medicine.”

Proverbs 17:22, ESV

Engagement Questions

• Who can have joy all the time?
• Who do you love?

Prayer

"Dear God, thank You for loving us like the shepherd loved his sheep. We love (name people your child loves). It gives us so much joy to know that You love us even more! Help us remember how much You love us so we can have joy all the time! You are amazing, God! And we love You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”

ENGAGE IN EVERYDAY MOMENTS TOGETHER

Morning Time

When you go into your child’s room, cuddle them and say: "Good morning, [child's name]! Let's wake up and have joy, because God loves us!"
 

Drive Time

While on the go, look for animals. Each time you find an animal, name it and make the animal's sound. Talk about how Jesus told a story about a shepherd who lost an animal. It was a sheep. Jesus told this story to teach us that God loves us.

Cuddle Time

Cuddle with your child and pray: "God, every time I think about how much You love [child's name] and me, I have joy! Thank You for loving us so much! In Jesus' name. Amen."
 

Bath Time

Add bubbles and a small toy sheep to bath time. Tell your child to close their eyes while you drop the sheep in the bubbles. Then tell your child to open their eyes and find the lost sheep. Repeat. Talk about how Jesus told a story about a shepherd and his lost sheep to teach us how much God loves us.
