Today’s hero is The Rich Fool, because he shows us the gift of HEAVEN’S TREASURE.

With the oldest receiving a double portion many younger sons would seek the authority of religious leaders for help.

Disclosure : I am posting this anyhow by request. Craft felt is hard to source in my location so I used a mixture of thicknesses and scraps.

This worksheet looks at the story of the Centurion’s Faith as told in Luke chapter 7. It uses bible refences as well as the imagry that accompanies the rest of the lesson onsite. This worksheet would work well as an extension activity or review, for an individual or as small group work – some of the questions could work well as small group discus.

To complete the worksheet you will need some pencils, a bible (specifically the book of Luke) and to turn your thinking caps on!
