Living in a Better Reality #4 : Repentance (Luke 15:1-10)

In this message from our 2023 Fall Conference at Camp Greystone, Rev. Sid Druen teaches us how the doctrine of faith and repentance takes us beyond our efficiency. In this final sermon, we see Jesus tell two stories that celebrate human honesty and how diligently God seeks us and how much He rejoices over us. Outline: Repentance looks like: (1) Looking Up and Feeling Lost, (2) Being Diligently Sought Out, (3) Being Wildly Rejoiced Over Discussion Questions: What is one emotion to the passage or sermon? Do you identify more with the Pharisees and Scribes or the Tax Collectors and Sinners? Why? How does God’s diligence in seeking the one versus the 99 transform your ideas about efficiency? What do you imagine it looks like for God to wildly rejoice over your repentance? (What do you do? What does God do?)
