Pastor Phil explores Jesus’ parable of the lost sheep to show how God pursues the lost with relentless love.

1. The COMPASSION of Jesus (v. 1)

- Jesus reaches out to the lost; love moves toward the sinner.

2. The CRITICISM of the Religious (v. 2)

- Sinners draw near while religious leaders draw lines and criticize.

3. The COMMITMENT of the Shepherd (v. 4)

- The shepherd leaves the ninety-nine to search for the one.

4. The CELEBRATION of the Shepherd (v. 4–6)

- The lost is loved, lifted, and located; heaven rejoices over one repentant sinner.
