Parent Conversation Guide (3.9.22)

Passage: Luke 15:1-7

Overview:
In our culture, majority usually rules. However, in the parable of the lost sheep, Jesus displays a heart of compassion for one single sheep that is lost. This parable is meant to illustrate Jesus' heart for those who are far from Him. As His followers, our heart for the lost should be the same as Jesus. We should have the desire and willingness to go to any length possible to search for those who are far from God.

What do we want our teens to know?

• Jesus moved heaven and earth to "find" us.
• Our hearts for people far from God should mirror Jesus' heart for them.

What do we want our teens to do?

• Think of one person who God has uniquely placed in their lives who is not a Christian.
• Pray for opportunities and clarity to be able to share the love of Christ with that person.

Ways to follow up with your teen this coming week:

• Ask them who the person is they thought of.
• Pray with them for that person.
• Do what you can do to help foster your teen's relationship with that person.
