The Seeking and Celebrating God (Luke 15:1-10)

Join Pastor Stuart as we continue in our series, Someone Like You, where we seek to answer the question, "Who does Jesus care about?"

In this lesson, we turn to the Gospel According to Luke 15:1-10 to hear the Good News of . . . "The Seeking and Celebrating God".

In this lesson, we learn:

• The parable of the lost sheep and coin tell us important truths about what God is like.
• God is the diligent seeker of people who are “lost.”
• God celebrates when a sinner repents.
• These two truths sum up the ministry of Jesus.
• They should also sum up the ministry of his church.
• So, let’s all realize the good and gracious character of God the Father, keep coming to Jesus, and grow in reflecting him by the work of the Spirit.
