Luke 15:1-Going after his list sheep.

You.


Christian activities don't make you a Christian

The persuing God.
The God who runs after us.

Luke 15:4 "this man walks with sinners and eats with them" "he doesn't leave the open country until he finds them"
Jesus drops everything to go after that one sheep .the shepherd goes after the lost sheep.

What does lost mean ...? God goes out to find them.

Luke 15:8 woman who loses a coin... She's up all night looking for that list coin. She swept the home to find it
God is a persuing God, He is out to find you, it's not the other way around

He will break down your barrier and get to your heart
Luke 15:5-6 the persuing God embraces you. " Joyfully he carries you"

When he finally ends you, he doesn't give you a roadmap ..he carries and takes you home. He does the heavy lifting in our lives.

God can receive whatever we bring to him, he'll embrace us. Be honest with God.

Bring before God what's really on your heart ..there is wandering prayer where your thots go.

Luke 15:6-7
God rejoicing for his list sheep found.

God celebrates those you might not expect...when he finds you, he throws you a party.

We are valued.

Joining on earth what's going on in heaven
