Leader Guide

Activity

Give a coloring page to each child and distribute the crayons, markers, or colored pencils. As children color their pages, use the questions below to lead a discussion:

• If you saw the video in our first lesson, how did Gizmo get tangled up with Rebel, the lost sheep? He was trying to help Micah, the shepherd, catch Rebel; and the Doggie saucer fired a net that caught the sheep and Gizmo.
• Why did the boy leave his other sheep to look for Rebel? As in Jesus’ parable, a shepherd cares about each of his sheep and will leave the flock until he finds it. 
• Who does Jesus’ parable compare a lost sheep to? Lost sinner.
• Who was the lost sinner in our Bible story? The younger son, Prodigal Son. 
• If you were the older brother who had stayed home and worked for his father the entire time, would you be jealous to see your dad give your younger brother presents and a party after he had run away and spent his inheritance?
• What did the father want the older brother to know in the story? Everything he had belonged to him.

What does our SuperTruth say happens in heaven when a lost sinner turns to God and repents of his sin? A celebration—rejoicing.
