"Lost and Found" - Luke 15:1-10 - Jun 7, 2026 - Pastor Scotty Brown

In Luke 15:1-10, Jesus responds to the complaints of religious leaders by sharing the parables of the lost sheep and the lost coin, revealing God's relentless pursuit of those who have gone astray. Pastor Scotty Brown explores how Jesus welcomed the broken and sinful, demonstrating that the Good Shepherd desires to seek and restore us.

The message highlights four phases seen in these parables:

A loss

A search

A recovery

A celebration

We are encouraged to stop wandering, surrender to the Shepherd's leading, and rejoice in the truth that heaven celebrates when one sinner repents. We bear the image of our Creator, and He loves to seek us out.
