Tonight's family reading · St. Philip
Zacchaeus in the Tree — a 5-minute devotion for St. Philip families
Luke 19:1-10 · Being seen changes people
A short, unpopular tax collector climbed a sycamore tree to see Jesus over the crowd. Jesus stopped, looked up and invited himself to dinner. By the end of the meal, Zacchaeus was giving half his wealth away.
This works best in St. Philip as a bedtime reading. Lights low, Luke 19:1-10 read slowly, the memory verse said twice, then the prayer. Younger children fall asleep on "being seen changes people"; older ones usually want to argue about it first, which is fine.
Memory verse
“The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”Luke 19:10
Table question
Who in your class or street feels unseen right now?
30-second prayer
Jesus, you looked up and called him by name. Help us see the people others skip over. Amen.
Make it stick: write "Luke 19:10" on the fridge tonight. Every time someone in the house opens it this week, they say the verse out loud. St. Philip kids find this funnier than it deserves, which is exactly why it works.
Tomorrow: the widow's two coins (Luke 21:1-4). ArkQuest queues the next reading automatically, so nobody has to decide what comes after tonight.
On Mount Carmel, Elijah rebuilt an altar of twelve stones before calling on the Lord. What did the twelve stones represent?
