    The lesson from these parables is that Jesus DOES give up on some people, and that only seeing it in this way is there any good news. If you think the message of these stories is that God never gives up on anyone, I suggest you have gotten it backwards.

    Sermon: The Hound of Heaven, Part I Text: Luke 15:1-10 Occasion: Trinity III (actually given on Trinity II) Who: Mark Woolsey When: Sunday, June 1, 2008 Where: Providence Reformed Episcopal Church Luke 15:1-10, NKJV: Then all the tax collectors and the sinners drew near to Him to hear Him.

     | 5,347 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

    The Lost Sheep

     | 5,537 views

    When Jesus compares us to sheep, it may not be flattering, but it is apt.

    Sheep don’t have a very good image, do they? If I asked what your favourite animal was, I doubt very much that any of you would say “sheep”. Our view of sheep is somewhat negative. We don’t say positive things like “Oh, he’s as strong as a sheep” or “She’s as wise as a sheep”. How about “as ...read more

    This is the first of a two-part series on the parable of the lost son. Heading into the New Year, this first message looks closely at the story of the lost son and the good news we have of a fresh start.

    When God Doesn’t Want to Hear It Luke 15:11-32 I sat at my desk staring blankly at the screen with a bit of a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. I didn’t know exactly where to begin, and I wasn’t even sure God wanted to hear it. I had just scrolled through the pages of a Word document where ...read more

    This is part of the series Questions Jesus Asked in this message Jesus asks a question about the evangelism. Her we see the plan, the problem and the priority of sharing our faith.

    Introduction: Video Clip – Evangelism Linebacker (Sermon Spice). That is one way to evangelize, but it may not be the best way to evangelize in our culture today.

    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
