Week 8

This Week’s Bible Story

Parable of the Lost Son (Luke 15:11-32) One day, Jesus told his friends a story about a man who had two sons. His younger son packed up all his things and went to a land far, far away. He spent everything his father had given him until there was nothing left. So the boy decided to go home and beg his father to let him come back. His father was so happy that his son returned that he threw a big party to celebrate.
