99 Left Behind – Sermon Thoughts for 10.18.09
This week we shift over to Luke’s Gospel and the 15th chapter. This chapter is so beautiful because of the three thematic parables that fill it. The parables of the Lost Sheep, Lost Coin, and Lost Son (Prodigal Son) all follow the same theme. Something is lost, the owner searches for it, it is found, there is great rejoicing. It is a simple formula, but the message is deep and profound. We will focus primarily on the first parable, the parable of the lost sheep.
Here are some questions for you as you read through this parable.
Luke 15:1-7
Questions to consider
Does this story actually make sense to you?
Why would you risk so much for one sheep or just cut your losses?
How does this story translate to our lives?
How does it affect our understanding of our calling as the church?
Are we supposed to be the sheep or the shepherd?
Great sermon!
If I were to make a friendly wager with someone about whether or not a Pastor, from any Church, would sing and fit an AC/DC song into their sermon, I would have lost!!! Awesome job; keep being you; I love the way you work modern day situations in relation to the scripture into your sermons; your making a big difference to this Church and Community!!! May God Truly Bless You!!!
Thanks Doug, I think you should start a sermon wagering system, could be a great fundraiser for the new building!
