The Lost Sheep — a 5-minute devotion for Blacktown families

Luke 15:1-7 · God goes looking for the one

A shepherd had a hundred sheep and one wandered off. He left the ninety-nine on the hills and searched until he found it, then carried it home on his shoulders and called his neighbours to celebrate.

This works best in Blacktown as a bedtime reading. Lights low, Luke 15:1-7 read slowly, the memory verse said twice, then the prayer. Younger children fall asleep on "god goes looking for the one"; older ones usually want to argue about it first, which is fine.

Memory verse

“Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.”

Luke 15:6

Table question

When have you felt lost — and who came looking for you?

30-second prayer

Good Shepherd, thank you that you do not give up on anyone. Help us go looking for someone who feels forgotten. Amen.

Make it stick: ask the same question again at breakfast tomorrow. Answers change overnight, and hearing that change is how a child learns that god goes looking for the one is something you practise, not something you know.

Tomorrow: the lost coin and the father who runs (Luke 15:8-24). ArkQuest queues the next reading automatically, so nobody has to decide what comes after tonight.
