Luke 15:11-

32THE LOST GET

FOUND.

The younger son was lost in himself.He demanded his share of the wealth.

He squandered everything on pleasure.

Self-centeredness left him alone and hungry.

THE LOST GET FOUND.

The younger son was lost in himself.

A shift in focus brought the lost home.The son took on a humble perspective.

The son took a bold step of faith.Humility in the midst of praise proved his genuineness.

THE LOST GET FOUND.

The younger son was lost in himself.

A shift in focus brought the lost home.

The father received the lost with joy.He celebrated lavishly over his son.He celebrated hastily over his son.He celebrated unreservedly over his son.

THE LOST GET FOUND.

The younger son was lost in himself.

A shift in focus brought the lost home.

The father received the lost with joy.

There will always be resistance to life change.There are always more self-centered skeptics.

THE LOST GET FOUND.

Our world is full of people who are “lost” – trusting themselves to pull them through.

If I am lost, I need to realize my own inability and take a step of faith to come to God to save me.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO ME?

I need to celebrate lavishly, hastily and unreservedly when people are found!

I need to ignore the skeptics.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO ME?
