A Heart Like God's (1 of 2)
Series: Lost and Found
Josh Malone
Luke 15:1-10
Lost and Found. Those three words are the summed up testimony of every believer in Christ in this room. Every human being on the planet is in one of those two categories. The bottom line of these next two weeks is that God is in the business of finding lost folks. Do you believe that? That God can save your kids, your neighbors, your spouse, your co-workers?
If you are a NP regular attendee I want you to understand something this morning... we need to have God's heart for lost people. (We exist to bring God glory, how can we do that if we don't embrace His heart?)
If you don't know Christ this morning... you need to know God's heart for YOU.
Why do we do Missions offerings? Why do we do an evangelistic outreach around Easter? We want to see lost people be found. We want to help people trust and follow Christ.
''Found people find people.''--- That's the win this morning. Helping people trust and follow Christ, making disciples... lives saved by Jesus and transformed to be more like Jesus.
Illus.- Scripture teaches we become like who or what we worship. So if we are worshippers of God... shouldn't we develop a heart more like His? We should share God's passions.
What we ultimately see in the text is how Jesus views the lost vs. how the pharisees and scribes viewed them and then three practical things we need to lear about God and the lost so that we can have a heart more like God's.
