Message Review

Father God sent Jesus to seek and save those who are lost. The first Christmas proved God’s heart for lost people is that they are found. In Luke 15, Jesus told 3 different parables that reveal the heart of God. This week we investigate the second parable (Luke 15:8-10) and discover that every lost person is extremely valuable to God. Since every lost person is valuable to God, we must be on a relentless search to find them.

Main Point | Every lost person is valuable to God, so we must be on a relentless search to find them.

Focus Passages | Luke 15:1-10 and 1 Corinthians 9:19-23
