The Prodigal Son | Scripture Story Sketch Notes | Printable PDF

A hand-drawn, doodle-style study of the prodigal son, built around the father’s words: “He was lost, and is found” (Luke 15:24).

Follow a numbered map along the road home, then look closer at the details. Context and a Greek word help, while the focus stays on the Savior.

What's Inside

• Cover with a numbered map and a contents list
• The story, plainly: four scenes, “Look to Him” notes, the hard King James words explained, and a draw-and-write page
• Look closer: nine cards on the portion, the far country, the swine, the husks, compassion, the robe, the ring, the feast and the elder son
• Where are you on the road? Far from home, ready to turn, waiting for someone, or the one who stayed, with check-ins
• The Road Home: write what happened at each step, then your own next step
• Their world, their words: who was listening, three lost things, a physician, no condemnation, and a Greek word
• Look to Him: what prophets have taught, with the lost sheep and lost coin
• Seek Him today: His welcome, a seven-day tracker, talk-about questions and verses to hold
• Go deeper: summaries and links for adult and deeper study
• Sources: every quotation and gloss cited with links (scripture first, then Church sources, then labeled outside sources)

Perfect For

• Personal and family Come, Follow Me study of Luke 15, repentance and forgiveness lessons, and youth or Primary classes any year
• Family home evening
• Primary, Sunday School, youth and seminary teachers
• Adults who want a deeper, well-sourced study
