    Seeking And Saving The Lost

    People in every Bible church sing about and preach a great deal about winning the lost to Christ.

    But there comes a time when we should not just sing and preach about it - we need to get down to the nitty gritty of doing it. To do this we have to have a plan. For example: ? The Carolina Gamecocks when they get ready to play a football game have to have a game plan to reach that goal line ...read more

    This message looks at how people run from God when He is only trying to rescue them. What are some of the ways in which the Lord pursues the lost? And what happens when He actually catches the person who’s running?

    This morning we are going to look at some words of revelation from the Lord spoken by the prophet Elihu to Job. In Elihu’s words of wisdom, we find a message that can be applied to those who are lost without salvation in Jesus Christ; and I wish to begin this sermon with an illustration: One ...read more

    Seek And Save The Lost Youth Sermon

     | 742 views

    Jesus seeks and saves the lost, transforming their lives from being unjust to living righteously, and we are called to follow his example by building relationships with others and experiencing salvation in our daily lives.

    Today, we're going to talk about a story from the Bible that shows us how Jesus can change our lives. It's about a guy named Zacchaeus, who was a tax collector and not very popular because of it. But when he met Jesus, everything changed. What I want you to walk away from this with is that Jesus ...read more

    In this sermon, we will examine the dangers of being close to salvation but not fully embracing it and how to ensure we enter the kingdom of God.

    This sermon explores Jesus's mission to seek and save those lost in sin, demonstrating that salvation is both a present and future reality, as seen in Luke 19:1-10 and Romans 2:4.

    Hello church! I want to begin this message by sharing a quote by a Scottish theologian who lived over a hundred years ago named George MacDonald (1824-1905). You may not have heard of MacDonald, but maybe you’ve heard of a guy named C.S. Lewis? C.S. Lewis is the Christian author who wrote the ...read more

    Three Things Needed For Reaching The Lost

    Contributed by Bruce Lee on May 28, 2025
     | 155 views

    I’ve heard about a little six-year old boy who was struggled to listen to a rather lengthy sermon. After the service, the little boy asked the question that sooner or later most "church kids" ask.

    Three Things Needed for Reaching the Lost Luke 15:1-10 Intro: I’ve heard about a little six-year old boy who was struggled to listen to a rather lengthy sermon. After the service, the little boy asked the question that sooner or later most "church kids" ask. "Dad" he asked, ...read more

     | 7,583 views

    Why Father was silent when he heard his younger SON demanded dividends? Why Father parted his property with his younger son knowing that he is going to leave him and live according to his plan? These questions are related to the foreknowledge of God.

    Theme: Compassionate Father Text: Luke 15:11-32 The Lord is good! His love endures forever!! I greet you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. It is an immense joy for us to meditate the Word of God Sundays after Sundays. The topic for this Sunday meditation is “A Compassionate ...read more

    God's heart bleeds for the lost. How about yours?

    I’m not sure if I have ever had so many things happen in a short time that would point to this being the very passage I need to teach from today. For example, about 10 days ago we received a prayer letter from missionaries we support in the Netherlands, the Van Dillens. They had mentioned in a ...read more

    When we encounter people on the street that obviously live there are we turned off by them? Are we turned off socially? Is our compassion turned off? Do we love these people? Or more importantly, does God love them?

    Does God Really Love These Things? Part 2 Does God Love Lost People? Sr. Pastor Taylor Free Methodist Church Let’s begin by answering the question, “Does God love lost people?” For God so loved the world that he gave one and only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal ...read more

    Anyone would be crazy to give up a relationship with God for the pleasures of this world. We would be foolish to give what we cannot LOSE to gain what we cannot KEEP!

    The Elder Son Syndrome

    Contributed by Keith Linkous on Jun 22, 2002
    based on 86 ratings
     | 7,530 views

    Luke 15 talks about a father and his two sons. One is a prodigal, and the other is pious. This message looks at some of the attributes of the elder son. Prayerfully, you have not succumbed to the elder son SIN-drome.

    One of the great dangers for anyone who has been saved by the grace of God is that they become so familiar with being saved, that they do not rightfully keep God in the place of exaltedness in their life that He occupied at the first. Neither do they serve God in the way that they should. ...read more
