    Sheep wander off and get lost because they’re stupid. We know better and still do it anyway, so I’m not sure just how smart that makes us.

    Other Scripture used: Exodus 32:1,7-14 1 Timothy 1:12-17 Psalm 51:1-18 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

    A sermon on welcoming back the sinner

    The title of my sermon today is “Let us rejoice!” Even though it may be under somewhat different circumstances, rejoicing is a common theme throughout the 15th chapter of the Gospel according to Luke. In our gospel reading for today, we read of two different parables that Jesus is telling to the ...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.

    Knowing The Heart Of God

     | 14,147 views

    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

    Never Give Up On The Lost

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 26, 2006
    based on 16 ratings
     | 6,445 views

    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. It ...read more

    It’s when the fish opens his mouth that he gets caught. We can learn a lot from God’s creatures. Another great example is the lesson we all can learn from the relationship of the Shepherd & his Sheep. Let’s examine it together!

    Introduction It’s so intresting how God takes a little story and teaches with it some of life’s greatest lessons. E.G. As Jesus sat and talked with the multitudes it was never without the complainers. While planting the truth of the Gospel in the hearts of those willing to listen, He speaks a ...read more

    I’m so glad that the Great Shepherd watches over his sheep. We can rest assured that Jesus is doing everything possible to bring our lost loved ones into the fold. He wants none of his sheep to be lost.

    Searching for One Lost Sheep By Pastor Jim May Luke 15:1-7, "Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him. And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. And he spake this parable unto them, saying, What man of you, ...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

     | 4,715 views

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