Lost Sheep Found and Restored (2 of 4)
Series: Lost
Frank Damazio
Luke 19:10
INTRODUCTION: The joy of finding something that has been lost is a remarkably great experience, whether it is something as small as a key or money or a credit card, or if it is something more emotional like finding a pet or something life-changing like finding a lost child, marriage, career or dream. Losing anything, great or small, is a real-life experience. What have you lost? Directions, significance, fulfillment, opportunity, dreams? I am hoping to help us turn to the great Restorer of lost things, lost people, and lost heart. Jesus is our hope. If you find yourself saying, ''Yes, that's me. I really need to find that but how can I?'' you need to believe the Scripture and believe Jesus. Give Jesus the opportunity to find what is missing in your life. Let us turn to the Restorer.

J.C. Penney: A young man in deep depression was in a mental hospital suffering with severe depression. He heard singing, went to the chapel and was totally transformed through a salvation experience. He put Jesus at the center of his life, his depression lifted, and he became a successful businessman. J.C. Penny states, he was lost to depression but was found.
