     | 5,206 views

    This is the first in a series on evangelism based on Bill Hybel’s book of a similar title. What is our motivation for reaching out with the gospel of Jesus?

    Why did the Pharisees receive these parables from Jesus? Because they did not rejoice over the lost being found.

    Know the heart of God for the lost. Looking at the life of Jesus, we come to understand what is needed to reach the lost - compassion.

    Sometime in July, we were looking at this passage during our prayer meeting: • Somehow I was drawn to one particular word, in verse 7. • Jesus says, “I tell you that in the same way, there will be MORE rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over 99 righteous persons who do not need to ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,745 views

    In this parable Jesus is comparing the younger son to the tax collectors and sinners who came to Jesus. The elder son represented the Pharisees and religious rulers who continually found fault with the teachings of Jesus.

    A Parable of Two Sons Luke 15:1-2, 11-32 “Tax collectors and other notorious sinners often came to listen to Jesus teach. This made the Pharisaical teachers of religious law complain that Jesus was associating with such despicable people – even eating with them.” Luke 15:1-2 The Pharisees and ...read more

    If the pardon issued is not accepted, it is invalid, you must accept it before it has value.

    When does a Pardon have Value? Luke 15:1-10, The sheep was lost because it may have foolishly wandered away; the coin was lost through no fault of its own. The neighbors and friends were called because the lost was found; the valued was back in their hands. Luke 15: 11-24 These are parables that ...read more

    Why do the angels in heaven rejoice when lost people get found? It is because they see what we have been saved from and what we have been saved to.

    LOST AND FOUND In July of 2002 nine miners were trapped in Quecreek, Pa when mine shafts collapsed due to floodwater. The men were trapping in a pocket of air 244 feet down in the 50-degree cold waters. The miners gasped for air as floodwater rose to their chins. They tied themselves together ...read more

    This sermon was deliberately intended to shock and shake up the Church. God’s priorities need to be our priorities - the Lost!

    ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep’ (15:6). ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin’ (15:9). Rejoice with me; a young drug dealer is now clean. Rejoice with me; a former racist has completely changed his ways. Rejoice with me; a broken-hearted abused woman has found healing in body, ...read more
