The Lost Coin (Luke 15: 8-10)
Hiding PlaceGod’s grace comes to find us, like the woman who stops what she is doing to find the missing coin. We all need God to find us and bring us back to the place where we belong.
Imagine your best hiding place, where no one can find you. What’s it like? Is it dark, or light? Can you see out? Can you hear any other people? Keep perfectly quiet there – not a sound, not even the sound of your breathing. Then imagine letting God in to your secret hiding place – how does it feel to have God in your secret hiding place with you? Imagine God taking your hand, and leading you to the kitchen where everyone is waiting to celebrate – they couldn’t start until you got there! |

Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32)
The story of the prodigal son is one of the most well known of Jesus' parables - a story of redemption, forgiveness and grace. There are many ways you can interpret or tell this story - from the point of view from the father, prodigal son, or the son who remained at home. Each part of the story reveals something about the Father heart of God.
