Sermon: The Parable of the Lost Sheep and the Lost Coin 
Series: The Parables of Jesus
Teacher: William Merriman
Scripture:  Luke 15:1-10 

In this powerful sermon by  Student Ministry Director William Merriman, we explore The Parables of the Lost Sheep and the Lost Coin, uncovering profound truths about God's heart for those who wander away.

As William navigates through these timeless parables, he paints a vivid picture of the scene where Jesus sits among tax collectors, sinners, and Pharisees, challenging the traditional notions of holiness and righteousness. We are given a glimpse of the radical nature of God's love and His relentless pursuit of those who are lost and broken.

The Enemy will perpetrate lies of shame and accusations, but we invite listeners to embrace the truth of God's grace and forgiveness. Drawing from the story of John Newton, the former slave trader turned hymn writer, he illustrates the transformative power of God's love to redeem even the most broken and unworthy.

Listeners are encouraged to confront their own agreements with shame and sin, knowing that God stands ready to forgive and restore.
