  1. At Home With God

  2. God places INFINITE VALUE on us

  3. Luke 15:1-3 1 Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus.2 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”3 Then Jesus told them this parable:

  4. Jesus is so attracted to people who are nothing like him

  5. Luke 15:4-7 4 "Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn't he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ 7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent

  6. Luke 15: 8-10 8 "Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Doesn't she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it?9 And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.'10 In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

  7. God places INFINITE VALUE on us

  8. God shows us EXTRAORDINARY RESPECT

  9. Luke 15:11-12 11 To illustrate the point further, Jesus told them this story: “A man had two sons. 12 The younger son told his father, ‘I want my share of your estate now before you die.’ So his father agreedto divide his wealth between his sons.

  10. God shows us EXTRAORDINARY RESPECT

  11. Luke 15:13 13 “A few days later this younger son packed all his belongings and moved to a distant land, and there he wasted all his money in wild living.

  12. Sin Will…take you further than you wannagokeep you longer than you wannastaycost you more than you wannapay

  13. Luke 15:14-16 14 About the time his money ran out, a great famine swept over the land, and he began to starve. 15 He persuaded a local farmer to hire him, and the man sent him into his fields to feed the pigs. 16 The young man became so hungry that even the pods he was feeding the pigs looked good to him. But no one gave him anything.

  14. Luke 15:17-19 17 “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’

  15. Luke 15:20-22 But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. 21 And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

  16. God gives usUNCONDITIONAL LOVE&ACCEPTANCE

  17. Luke 15:22-24 22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘QuicklyBringout the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. 23 And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry; 24 for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to be merry.

  18. It’s not about how much we’ve done for God. It’s about how much He’s done for us. “For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost.” Luke 19:10
