    Have you ever lost anything or been lost. It can be scary. When we find something we lost, we are ecstatic. Could we get a little excited when God finds someone?

    - You remember the day, when you were walking along in the store, looking around you discover that your child you thought was following you is not and they are nowhere to be seen - You remember when you’ve gone out into the vast sea of parking stalls at night, thinking you remember exactly where ...read more

    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.

    Turning Complaints Into A Celebration

    Jesus was often judged harshly by the religious authorities in his day. The Pharisees and the scribes believed wrongly that he was condoning the sins of people whose company he shared. Instead Christ came to make of them "new creations" (2 Cor. 5:17).

    “Turning Complaints into a Celebration” Luke 15:1-10, Proper 19-C September 11, 2016 “Grumble”: It’s an interesting word isn’t it? And here we find it in the second verse of our Gospel lesson today. “And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying: ...read more

    Jesus offered a parable of a woman who had lost a coin of great value. Once it was found, through a diligent search, she called her friends to rejoice with her. We too should seek out the lost and rejoice in their salvation.

    Calling all Friends Luke 15: 8-10 Our text today comes from a familiar chapter where our Lord shares three different parables – The Parable of the Lost Sheep, The Lost Coin, and the Lost Son. These parables were given in response to the Pharisees criticism of His interaction with sinners. ...read more

    Where do you "fit in" to the parable of the Prodigal Son"?

    "Scandalous Grace" Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32 What are we to make of this parable? I think that this parable is the parable that most shows what God is trying to reveal to us in sending Jesus into the world.
