Parables 2009
praise God for a beautiful weekend! i hope and pray you enjoyed it as much as i did. i can’t even begin to tell you how excited i am about spring coming…MUST.PLAY.OUTSIDE!!!!
for our jr highers, we actually got to get out since it was light outside (thank daylight savings time!). after an intense game of lighting ball (and handball for our sr highers), we rallied the troops to dive into our newest series:
we hit up the lost chapter of the Bible: Luke 15; the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son (the prodigal son). after looking at all the stories we can come to the conclusion that we are all worth pursuing, have value, and should celebrate when the lost is found.
i referenced (in sr high) a book that has highly influenced my journey with Jesus and this parable. the book is called “The Return of the Prodigal Son” by Henri Nouwen. i would HIGHLY suggest this anyone at any point in their journey with God…it’s sooo awesome. if you end reading, lemme know…i’d love to chat with you about it!
