Scripture: Luke 15:1-32 (The Lost Sheep, Coin, and Son)
Object: A lantern (symbolizing God’s pursuit of the lost)
Theme: God does not wait for us to find Him—He comes searching for us.
Focus:
- The shepherd leaves the 99 to find the one.
- The woman lights a lamp and sweeps until she finds the coin.
- The father runs to the prodigal son before he even arrives home.
Key Wesleyan Connection:
- Prevenient Grace – God searches for us before we even know we are lost.
- God is active, not passive – We don’t have to get everything right before He welcomes us.
- The Celebration of Grace – Heaven rejoices when just one sinner repents.
Challenge:
- Where have you wandered away from God?
- How is God searching for you today—through people, Scripture, or circumstances?
- This week, pause and let yourself be found by God.
