Preparation to Launch: The Lost Sheep

This morning I want to talk to you about the Parable of the Lost Sheep. This parable is powerful and inspiring in 4 ways. (1) it powerful and inspiring because Jesus is the Good Shepherd and HE is looking for those who do not know HIM! (2) because the Good Shepherd is looking for those who wandered away from HIM…those who have backslidden (3) it is powerful and inspiring...because as a church…we know that we were lost…and HE came looking for us! (4) it is powerful and inspiring...because we know that it is our responsibility to find the lost sheep…wherever they may be!
