LOST AND FOUND: A 4-WEEK SERIES ON JESUS

SERIES OVERVIEW:

Have you ever been lost? Maybe you wandered away from your parents, took a wrong turn, or lost track of your friends in a crowd? It can be scary to realize you’re not sure where you are or how to get home again, and the same thing is true when it comes to our faith. See, you and I were created to be close to the God who made and loves us. But some of us don’t know our Creator yet. And some of us know Jesus but we wander (or at least we feel) far away from Him. In this 4-week series, we'll explore a series of stories Jesus once told about things that were lost and then got found again. Through those stories, we'll discover that Jesus notices you, values you, welcomes you back when you've strayed, and invites you to the party when others come home.

There are four spiritual habits we all need to grow spiritually: spend time with God, spend time with others in healthy community, share your stories of faith, and use your gifts to serve. So for you and your kid, what is one next step you could individually take in each of these areas? Your next step might be to learn a new strategy for studying Scripture, while your kid's next step might be to just read one verse — just one!
