When a man’s son ran away it taught us a really awesome lesson in how much God loves us.

Key Points:

  • One day, a son asked for money from his dad and ran away. Luke 15:11-12
  • The son lived a wild life until he had no money left. Luke 15:13
  • The son finally came to his senses and went back to his home. Luke 15:17-19
  • His dad didn’t just take him back; he threw a party! Luke 15:22-24
  • God throws a party when we come home.

Memory Verse:

Luke 15:24 ‘He was lost, but now he is found.’ So the party began.
