The Prodigal Son Comes Home — a 5-minute devotion for Empangeni families
Luke 15:11-32 · A welcome that runs to meet you
A son took his inheritance early, spent it all and ended up feeding pigs. He rehearsed an apology on the road home — but his father saw him far off, ran to him, and threw a feast before he could finish it.
This works best in Empangeni as a bedtime reading. Lights low, Luke 15:11-32 read slowly, the memory verse said twice, then the prayer. Younger children fall asleep on "a welcome that runs to meet you"; older ones usually want to argue about it first, which is fine.
Memory verse
“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion.”Luke 15:20
Table question
Is there an apology you are rehearsing that you could just say tonight?
30-second prayer
Father, thank you that you run. Make this house a place people can come home to. Amen.
Make it stick: on the way through Empangeni tomorrow, one person says the first half of "But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion." and someone else finishes it. Three tries and it is memorised.
Tomorrow: the older brother outside the party (Luke 15:25-32). 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?
