A Sermon on the Value of the Lost | Luke 15 | The Bridge Church | Ian Simkins

"God values the lost so much that every time someone repents, surrenders, or trusts in Him, the angels in the Heavens rejoice! We should too! God did not send down His only son to 'seek and destroy'. No, He sent His son to 'seek and save.'
How do we 'seek and save' like Jesus? In order to find the lost, we need to go where the darkness is and have the courage to not stay in the light. We need to seek the lost with the same urgency and intensity that God does. How can we expect the world to believe that a God they can't see loves them, when a church they CAN SEE doesn't seem to even like them?

We (dad and I, in hospice hospital room) are listening to Sundays sermon on lost things.
Talking abt lost keys....I was washing clothes at a friends house and my keys fell into a trash can next. After I looked, 3 other looked IN THAT TRASH CAN! and many other places, we have up. And ONE YEAR LATER, my friend Peggy called w/ a"guess what I found?" And I said, "my keys!" For one, that was AMAZING that I thot abt them! For another, how did 1 yr go by and those keys were NEVER thrown out? And of praise, they were found!
I LOVE the visuals.They remain in my head as fi the visuals that work so well w/ the kids (I'd love to get the lessons we teach so I (God gives me!) can develop a visual. I'd love to be able to do this every week. Wish we had individual books but bkz of computers I understand.BUT personally dislike them.
