Series: Prodigal Son

Luke 15:1-2, 11-32
ILLUS. - Kids get attached to certain toys right, like stuff animals. That’s not just my kids right? Well, Brook has this one little tiny dog. Can fit in your hand. He affectionately named it Wag. One day ... Wag came up missing. We looked ... no Wag. Heartbroken. To the point ... we bought a NEW WAG. - Then ... one year later ... WE FOUND WAG. - THE JOY! Now ... he has TWO WAGS. The only thing better than one of your favorite toys? TWO.
Have you ever lost something and then found it? - If it means something to you ... you celebrate it right? - Well God didn’t lose us ... we got our selves lost, humanity rebelled, wandered off in sin ... we left home so to speak. - But when someone gets FOUND ...

God is in the finding business, we should be too. ‘‘FOUND PEOPLE FIND PEOPLE.’’?
The next few weeks we are studying the parable, the story of The Prodigal Son. Someone said Charles Dickens called this story the GREATEST SHORT STORY. It teaches a GREAT TRUTH. - God receives and rejoices over repentant sinners coming home ... and we should too.

The scribes were those who taught the law.The sinners were those who did not keep their oral traditions or failed to keep the law rather ceremonial or moral in some way. They also grouped the crippled and poor into that group. They we ...
