Lost and Found: Luke 15.

A message about being lost and found from the parables of Jesus in Luke 15 -- part of which is often referred to as the parable of the prodigal son. For those of us who have gone and squandered our lives, Jesus shows the heart of God who loves us.

Three lessons to hear:

1. Message If you've thrown your life away, like the youngest son, then simply come home to God by just coming to your senses: receive the love of Jesus, who seeks and saves the lost.
2. Warning If we don't have compassion for those close to us but lost, and do nothing for their finding, Jesus' warning here is that we too may be lost, like the older brother - but just not know it yet.
3. Comfort The great comfort of God is that Jesus is our faithful older brother, who left his home to seek and save the lost! (Hebrews 2 and 12)
