Lost & Found The Lost Condition of Our World

Lost & Found Our culture seems to “dilute” everything. (Homosexuality... “Alternate Lifestyle” - Abortion... “Woman’s Choice”) Political Correctness has caused us to weaken the severity of so many things. One thing we cannot dull down is the severity of being LOST. It is terrifying! (... Milk-Carton Kids...) LUKE 15 is Christ’s discussion of the severity of SPIRITUAL LOSTNESS Our culture seems to “dilute” everything. (Homosexuality... “Alternate Lifestyle” - Abortion... “Woman’s Choice”) Political Correctness has caused us to weaken the severity of so many things. One thing we cannot dull down is the severity of being LOST. It is terrifying! (... Milk-Carton Kids...) LUKE 15 is Christ’s discussion of the severity of SPIRITUAL LOSTNESS

Lost & Found Luke 15:3-7 “The Lost Sheep” CARELESSNESS The sheep just “wanders off” through carelessness. The sheep knows he is lost, but doesn’t know the way back! Some people are exactly the same way! They wander through a life of sin only to realize one day that they are lost. PROV. 14:12 Luke 15:3-7 “The Lost Sheep” CARELESSNESS The sheep just “wanders off” through carelessness. The sheep knows he is lost, but doesn’t know the way back! Some people are exactly the same way! They wander through a life of sin only to realize one day that they are lost. PROV. 14:12

Proverbs 14:12 There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.

Lost & Found Luke 15:8-10 “The Lost Coin” USELESSNESS This coin is now “out of circulation.” This is what Satan wants, to render us USELESS. Revelation 3:15-16 Luke 15:8-10 “The Lost Coin” USELESSNESS This coin is now “out of circulation.” This is what Satan wants, to render us USELESS. Revelation 3:15-16

Revelation 3:15-16 I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.

Lost & Found Luke 15:11-24 “The Lost Son” WILLFULNESS The lure to sin, even to those who know better, can be very strong. Satan deceives with promises and seductive lies. Yet, in the end, all the promises are empty, and sin ALWAYS BITES BACK! Luke 15:11-24 “The Lost Son” WILLFULNESS The lure to sin, even to those who know better, can be very strong. Satan deceives with promises and seductive lies. Yet, in the end, all the promises are empty, and sin ALWAYS BITES BACK!

Lost & Found Luke 15:25-31 “The Older Brother” BITTERNESS This brother has never “left the fold,” yet is consumed with bitterness and contempt for his Father. The text doesn’t tell of a change of heart in him. Sometimes, a heart can become so jaded, that it WILL NOT soften. Hebrews 6:4-6 Luke 15:25-31 “The Older Brother” BITTERNESS This brother has never “left the fold,” yet is consumed with bitterness and contempt for his Father. The text doesn’t tell of a change of heart in him. Sometimes, a heart can become so jaded, that it WILL NOT soften. Hebrews 6:4-6

Hebrews 6:4-6 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit,and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.

Lost & Found Notice that there is someone SEARCHING in every story, yearning that the lost one be found- A Shepherd... A Woman... A FATHER!!! He does not soften the severity of lostness... He came to FIND THAT WHICH IS LOST! Notice that there is someone SEARCHING in every story, yearning that the lost one be found- A Shepherd... A Woman... A FATHER!!!
