    Lost & Pretending

    Contributed by Captain Emily Vincent on Jul 11, 2023
     | 1,309 views

    Jesus tells the parables about the lost sheep, the lost coin and the lost son, but how can this relate to us today in our modern world? And how can we as Christians be pretending? Will God be able to tell who we really are behind the person we have created ourselves out to be?

    Guys…I want to be really honest with you this morning… I love that we get to do some amazing things, but honestly. I’ve been running around like a chicken with my head cut off…running from one meeting to another, making sure everything on my multiple lists get done, and I’m just plain tired…I can’t ...read more

    God specializes in restoring those who are lost and gone away from Him. Everyone needs to be in the place God has assigned for us, for only there are we assured of God’s protection, privilege and we will also find our true worth.

    We read in Luke 15:20, “And he rose up and went to his own father. But while he was yet a long way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell upon his neck, and covered him with kisses.” (Darby) We meditated a little on this passage in the last sermon, considering ...read more

    When we consider Jesus’ audience, there is a much deeper truth. Jesus shows the sinners, publicans, scribes and the pharisees what God is really like and he paints a picture of a Godly Father.

    Sermon: The Portrait of a Godly Father Text: Luke 15: 1-24 1 Tax collectors and other notorious sinners often came to listen to Jesus teach. 2 This made the Pharisees and teachers of religious law complain that he was associating with such sinful people—even eating with them! 3 So Jesus told them ...read more

    A third perspective is what Jesus is saying about the sheep. That is, that left to their own devices, sheep will stray.

    Why do you suppose The Runaway Bunny is one of the most popular books for toddlers ever written? Because it reassures the child that whatever happens, she can’t get lost for good. Even if he gets mad and runs away, he still can’t get lost - because the mother bunny will always come after her child. ...read more

    This exposition of Luke chapter 15 begins with a very personal story, highlighting how God even uses human frailty as a means to His grace.

    Once upon a time, in the summertime, there was a 16-year-old young man struggling to find his way. His father held a particular secular and materialistic philosophy about life and making meaning in the world—something the young man had tried to embrace, but it ultimately left him feeling empty. ...read more

    It is easy to become Jealous over those we think are getting in easy to God's Grace when we labor to follow God's Law. Jesus parables in Luke 15 help us to see things right.

    Good Morning. Last week, we focused on approaching God. There are many who see picking a religion like picking a flavor of ice cream at Baskin Robbins.
