Lesson 2 - Stories About Lost Things ... Understanding God's Love for Us Wednesday, March 4, 2026

Jesus talked about a very common experience in this set of parables in Luke 15 — the loss of something precious and valuable. He began with a sheep, then moved on to a coin, and ended with a son. Who could not identify with one or all of them? But as always, Jesus had a point beyond the details. He wanted His listeners to think beyond the lost things themselves to who was doing the seeking in each case — and why. Who among His listeners would really hear what He was saying?

Stories to Live By

Jesus often taught using stories — simple on the surface, but rich with eternal meaning.

In Stories to Live By, Michele Telfer walks through the parables of Jesus, helping us see them as His original listeners would have.

Because these stories were spoken into a culture very different from our own, it’s easy to miss what Jesus was really saying. This eight-part study brings clarity, depth, and fresh insight, revealing what the parables teach us about God’s Kingdom — and our place in it as followers of Christ.

Your gift helps continue the teaching ministry of In the Word, making biblical truth accessible to believers around the world.
