Lost and Found: a 4-Week Teaching Series for Youth Ministry TOPIC: Jesus SCRIPTURE: New Testament DECORATING THEME: Series Thematic AGE GROUP: Students 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.
