Tonight's family reading · Negombo
The Ten Lepers — a 5-minute devotion for Negombo families
Luke 17:11-19 · The discipline of coming back to say thank you
Ten men stood at a distance and shouted for mercy. Jesus sent them to the priests, and on the way they were healed. One — a foreigner — turned back, threw himself at Jesus' feet and said thank you.
Use this one on the Negombo weekend, when there is room for a longer conversation. Read Luke 17:11-19, talk through the question properly, then write the memory verse somewhere everyone will see it on Monday.
Memory verse
“Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?”Luke 17:17
Table question
What is one thing from today you have not yet said thank you for?
30-second prayer
Jesus, we are quick to ask and slow to thank. Thank you for today. Amen.
Make it stick: on the way through Negombo tomorrow, one person says the first half of "Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?" and someone else finishes it. Three tries and it is memorised.
Tomorrow: the persistent widow (Luke 18:1-8). 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?
