    In a community where 40% of the people don’t give a rip about church what are we to do? How are we to approach them.

    The 1950’s was a boom time for the Church in the U.S. and the favorite game for believers was “Hide and Seek”. Congregations would hide behind their walls and stained glass windows and those outside would seek us out. If you hadn’t noticed the world doesn’t play “Hide and Seek” anymore. Today ...read more

    God’s priority must also be the priority of His children.

    Today, I want to speak with you about that which I believe should be the driving force behind everything our church does. That which should be our priority is that which is priority in the mind of Almighty God - seeking and saving the lost. This is the mission that Jesus was sent to fulfill: "For ...read more

    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

    This is the second part of a two-part message. The two things needed to reach the lost is (1) compassion, and (2) persistent effort. We cannot remain passive and expect the lost to return. We need to make connections with the lost constantly.

    The sinners flock to Jesus, not because He preaches a compromising message but for the way they were treated – Jesus loves them. • The first thing needed for reaching the lost is compassion. • We need to show more compassion to those we need to bring to Christ. • Love makes the different.

    The cause of Christ is “to seek and save the lost”. This can seem simple enough…but sometimes the human heart can miss the heart of God.

    The cause of Christ is “to seek and save the lost”. This can seem simple enough…but sometimes the human heart can miss the heart of God. This is precisely what we discover in Luke 15:1-2, a showdown between RELIGIOUS PERCEPTIONS AND DIVINE PASSION: “Now the tax collectors and “sinners” were all ...read more

    The point of the two parables about lost things – implies that we can get lost, separated from God. The reaction of the owner (God) is a grief-stricken search.

    Joy In The Presence / Luke 15: 1 - 10 Intro: Men and women react differently when they are lost. A man will drive and drive without stopping to ask directions. But, his wife will stop at the first gas station or even stop people along the way if she isn’t absolutely sure. Here we have two ...read more
