Matthew 18:6-14 - The Church Chases Lost Sheep

Pastor Sam emphasizes the importance ofseeking the lost in the church, drawing from Matthew 18 to illustrate how Jesus relates to His followers as weak little ones in need of care and support. He reminds the congregation that just like children within a family can sometimes hurt each other, members of the church will face sin and conflict, underscoring the necessity of forgiveness and grace. Pastor Sam highlights that Jesus actively seeks us out in our weakness, challenging us to mirror this love by pursuing those who wander from the faith. He encourages everyone to take practical steps by expecting struggles, removing obstacles that lead to stumbling, and actively reaching out to those who have drifted away, embodying the love of Christ.
