When the Lost Come Home (Luke 15:1–32)

Why does heaven celebrate when one sinner repents? What do the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the prodigal son have in common? And how do these stories shape the way we love people who are far from God? In this message from Luke 15:1–32, Pastor Don examines Jesus' three parables of the lost to reveal the Father's relentless love for every person. Some are painfully aware of their need for God and need someone to help carry them home. Others don't yet recognize their need and must be lovingly pursued. And some choose to remain far from God until life's hardships bring them to the end of themselves. Whether you're searching for your way home, praying for a prodigal, or asking God how to love those who are spiritually lost, this message reminds us that every life is precious to God, every soul is worth pursuing, and there is great joy in heaven whenever someone comes home.
