    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. 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

    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
