Who's Your King

• 33:07Luke 15

  …on a rescue mission for Saul's life. Maybe you can relate. Maybe you've been on a journey looking for something or someone. But for the first time, you realize Jesus has been on a search and rescue mission for you. In Luke 15, Jesus tells three stories in a row. There's a story of a lost sheep. And Jesus says that the shepherd leaves the found sheep and goes and finds the lost sheep.

• 33:41Luke 15

  …a story of a lost son who lives a sinful life and he comes back. And when he comes back, you know what he finds? He finds that the father has been waiting for him and looking for him. And in each time, Jesus says this, Luke 15. He says,

Psalms

• 33:37Luke 15

  peculiar scene because if anyone touches a leper who has a skin disease that person who touches the unclean person is also unclean so the one who is cast out from society now makes you the person who's cast away from society and the Bible says that the Messiah touches him and heals him don't forget the parable that Jesus tells in Luke 15 the parable of the two lost sons one

• 34:06Luke 15

  lost prodigal son in Luke 15 Jesus says that the father threw his arms around the son's neck he embraced him threw a robe on him and said welcome home the one who is lost has been found we have a father who embraces the way of the righteous person God does not keep you at arm's distance

From Death to Life

• 37:54Luke 15

  And adopt me. Scripture says that when you pray a prayer like that, that God hears. Because he's been waiting. Read Luke 15. The father was waiting for the prodigal son to return the whole time. Amen.

Advent

• 37:43Luke 15

  He says that in Luke 15, I tell you, in the same way, there will be much joy in heaven over one sinner who repents. That over 99 righteous who don't need repentance. The highest heaven is waiting and rejoicing at the salvation of the souls of men and women for Jesus. And when you find that salvation, there's a second thing we see here in this course. The second thing we have by the angels is what? Glory to God in the highest heaven.

• 0:27Luke 15

  today to share a story with you you know in luke 15 jesus tells a parable and you're very familiar with it he said suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost doesn't he go after that one and leave the 99 in the open field and when he finds it he…

• 13:25Luke 15

  Look at Luke 15. You can listen. You remember the parable of Jesus saying there's a hundred sheep. One sheep runs away, falls away, did something, and he's lost. This is the conclusion to that. When the shepherd has found the one lost sheep, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders. And coming home, he calls his friends and neighbors, saying to them, rejoice. Have you heard that before?

Reformation: 5 statements that form/faith

• 9:45Luke 15

  And the factors that shape most of our faith and belief are these, faith from your family, faith from your culture, faith from life, life circumstances, and also belief that is given to you by your church. And so what do you truly believe in? I think that our dominant views in society are succinctly summed up in a story that Jesus Christ gives in Luke chapter 15. He gives a series of three stories to church people

• 12:11Luke 15

  …okay, here you go. Here's your inheritance. And he goes and he's lavishly, extravagantly foolish. And he ends up spending way too much on his credit cards. He ends up bankrupt and with the pigs. And the Bible says in Luke 15, he wakes up. The Bible says he comes to his senses. And he says, look, I'm starving.

• 20:36Luke 15

  children of God. So our second question, church, does God love? Yes. Look. Wake up. Does He love now me? There's two pictures in Scripture that jump out when we ask the question, does God love me? And they both come from Luke 15. The first is the parable of the prodigal son. That's not a good name for it because that focuses on the one son who went away. The best name for this story is the parable of the two lost sons.

• 22:35Luke 15

  We don't deal with that now, thank God. But he just lived it up. And he gets to the point where he's feeding pigs and the pigs are eating better than he is. And so the son says in Luke 15, and it's a beautiful story, he says, even the servants in my dad's house live better than this. I want to go home and just be a servant. And the Bible says he comes to his senses and he goes home.

Hosea (Holiness and heart of God)

• 12:05Luke 15

  No, we. Look in the mirror, right? We are unlovable. No, we don't deserve verse 14. We have run away from God. And God reminds us, don't worry. I am pursuing you. Jesus Christ echoes this in the New Testament in Luke 15. I love what is happening in Luke 15. If you want to turn there quickly, you can. But we have some church folk coming to Jesus Christ. And they're complaining. I mean, that's hard to believe. But church people…

  …because I think this is what church should be about. He said, because they love a young fella over here. He said, they love a young fella over here. That's why I came, is because I felt loved. Now, when we unpack Luke chapter 15, you'll get that statement in a moment. And I want you to kind of put that into your heart, because they love a young fella over here. Christ loved us because God demonstrated his love towards us, and while we were yet…

• 3:45Luke 15

  And the entire chapter of Luke chapter 15 could literally be summed up as three things, lost, found, and rejoice. Even later, the book of Luke tells us in Luke 19 verse 10, the Son of Man had come to seek and save that which was lost. That was God's part of this enormous eternal plan. He had his plan. It was everything was intentional. Everything was relational.
