KEY VERSE:
“… But we had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and has come to life; he was lost and has been found.”
Luke 15:32

FAITH STORY:
Luke 15:11-32

FAITH FOCUS:
Jesus was telling the people stories (parables) and he began to tell them a parable about a man who had two sons. One of the sons wanted his share of his inheritance. So the father gave it to him and he took it and went away. He squandered the wealth on immoral things and when he was out of money, a severe famine hit. He got a job feeding pigs, but the pigs were eating better than he was. He decided to go back to his father and confess that he had sinned and that he, instead of being his son, would be willing to be treated as a servant because even the servants were better off than he was. When the son approached the father’s house, he was welcomed and the father celebrated because his long lost son had returned. However, the older brother (the one who was still living at home) was angry because the father had never thrown a party for him and he was always good. But the father said “you already have all that I own. Your brother was dead and now he is alive… we must celebrate.”
