    Four Who Were Lost Series

    Contributed by Carl Allen on Jun 17, 2008
    based on 11 ratings
     | 5,527 views

    In these stories we see four ways of getting lost, four consequences of being lost, and a fourfold quest for the lost.

    The Four Who Were Lost Luke 15 Intro One of my most cherished chapters in the Bible is Luke 15. I like the way it begins: “They dear near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.” Much is said about Christ in those words. They mean that those who failed realized that in Christ ...read more

    This message is from a series that looks at God's desire for us to live life in a way that avoids being overloaded and overextended.

    If overloading ourselves has the ability to cause emotional, relational and spiritual dysfunction, why do we continually do it? The number one reason is that we do not see this as a problem. We simply assume that this is the way that life is and there is nothing that we can do about it. The second ...read more

    This message is from a series that looks at God's desire for us to live life in a way that avoids being overloaded and overextended.
