Script Summary:
Act 1: The Lost Coin (Luke 15:8–10) – A woman searches tirelessly for a single coin and celebrates when it’s found. Jesus teaches that heaven rejoices over one sinner who repents.
Act 2: The Two Debtors (Luke 7:41–43) – Jesus tells of two people who owed money—one a little, one a lot. Both are forgiven, but the one forgiven more shows the greatest love.
Act 3: The Unworthy Servants (Luke 17:7–10) – A servant does his work without expecting thanks. Jesus teaches that true obedience comes from humility and faithfulness.
Act 4: The Persistent Widow (Luke 18:1–8) – A widow keeps asking a judge for justice until he finally gives in. Jesus shows that God hears the prayers of those who never give up.
