Sunday school lessons on five of the best-known stories Jesus told, each one pointing back to the Storyteller.\u003c\/strong\u003e Jesus taught with stories, and kids remember stories. Over five weeks kids hear the parable of the sower, as a farmer scatters seed on four kinds of ground (Luke 8); the Good Samaritan, who stops to help a hurt man on the road (Luke 10); the Pharisee and the tax collector, two men who go up to the temple to pray (Luke 18); the lost sheep and the lost coin, and the joy when each one is found (Luke 15); and the prodigal son, as a father runs to welcome his younger son home and goes out to plead with the older one (Luke 15). One truth runs through all five: Jesus came to seek and to save the lost. Available in Kids (ages 6 to 12) and Preschool (ages 3 to 5) editions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.9em;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eSee all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/anytime-favorites-topical-sunday-school-units?src=shelf-line\"\u003eAnytime Favorites topical Sunday school lessons →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e📅 Coming Soon\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e👉 Try it free first:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 22px;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/5254\/3371\/files\/Parables_for_Kids_-_Kids_-_Free_Sample_Lesson.pdf?v=1790536820\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDownload the Kids sample lesson →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/5254\/3371\/files\/Parables_for_Kids_-_PreK_-_Free_Sample_Lesson.pdf?v=1790536820\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDownload the PreK sample lesson →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e💡 Big Idea:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jesus told simple stories with big truths about God, and He came to seek and to save the lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e📖 Memory Verse:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.\" (Luke 19:10) BSB\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✝️ Gospel Connection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jesus told stories about seeds, neighbors, prayers, lost sheep and a waiting father, and each one shows us what God is like.
