What kind of God is God?

Preacher: Series: Hope that stands in the storm Scripture: Luke 15:1–31

How big does the "yes" need to be to encounter the "no" you've heard in your life?

How far would we be willing to go?

Luke 15:1-31

Parable of lost sheep, lost coin, lost son.

Describe who God is and what he's like.

Luke 15:1

"This man welcomes sinners and eats with them."

Jesus accepts these people treating them as equals or friends.  Doing this before they have their "act" together.

Question: Why don't I? Do I persue those who are lost?

People don't get grace because they don't know they need it. (Refering to Pharisees and religious leaders). 

Sheep - they get distracted

Coin - fall through the crack

Where are you in the parable? 

Where is God asking you to sweep? Where and who?
