Podcasts about lost sheep

One time, I lost my son at Disney World...

This week, Pastor Will shares one of the most well-known parables in Luke's Gospel, the Parable of the Lost Sheep, and reflects on the reckless love of God. How might we emulate this type of love in our lives and in the life of our church?Scripture references: Jeremiah 4:11-12, 22-28; Psalm 14; and Luke 15:1-10“YOUR GRACE IS ENOUGH” -- CCLI Song # 4477026  |  MattMaher  |  © 2003 Thankyou Music (Admin. by Capitol CMG Publishing)  |  spiritandsong.com  |  For use solely with the SongSelect® Terms of Use.

Jesus Has Broad Shoulders | Luke 15:1–10 | The Parable of the Lost Sheep Someone with “broad shoulders” is strong enough to carry the burdens of others. In today's Gospel, Jesus shows us that He is the Good Shepherd with the broadest shoulders of all. He carries the weight of our sin, the responsibility of our salvation, and He never abandons His sheep. In the Parable of the Lost Sheep (Luke 15:1–10), we see His heart for each of us: when we stray, He seeks us out, lifts us up, and carries us home. You are not just a number to Him—you are known by name, and you belong to His flock.

On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson discuss Luke's parable of the Lost Sheep. With the shepherd who seeks out the one lost sheep, leaving the other ninety-nine, we see the scandal of God's grace and the recklessness of Christ who seeks out the sinner. We also see that repentance is not something we do, but something that is properly done to us by Christ with his words of law and gospel.  Show Notes: Support 1517 Podcast Network 1517 Podcasts 1517 on Youtube 1517 Podcast Network on Apple Podcasts 1517 Events Schedule 1517 Academy - Free Theological Education What's New from 1517: Untamed Prayers: 365 Daily Devotions on Christ in the Book of Psalms by Chad Bird Remembering Your Baptism: A 40-Day Devotional by Kathryn Morales Sinner Saint by Luke Kjolhaug The Impossible Prize: A Theology of Addiction by Donavan Riley More from the hosts: John Hoyum Steven Paulson

When the Pharisees and religious leaders grumble and murmur over the outcasts who are coming to hear Jesus, He tells three consecutive parables that reveal the true heart of God and dire condition of mankind if left to himself. In this first parable, a shepherd loses 1 of his 100 sheep. Without hesitation, the shepherd leaves the 99 and goes after the 1. When he finds the lost sheep, he doesn't scold it; rather, he places it on his shoulder and celebrates with his friends and neighbors. On a much grandeur scale, such is the response in heaven when one lost sinner repents!

Jesus tells the story of a shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine to find the one. In this message from Luke 15:1–7, discover the Shepherd who seeks, carries, and rejoices over you.

Have you ever felt lost, disconnected, or unsure of where you belong? In Luke 15, Jesus tells three unforgettable stories—the Lost Sheep, the Lost Coin, and the Prodigal Son—that remind us of one life-changing truth: God is always with us. In this message, Matthew Balentine shares how each parable reveals the heart of God—searching for the lost, rejoicing in repentance, and welcoming His children home with open arms. Whether you're wandering, unaware, or weary from the journey, take comfort in knowing: Jesus is always there.

Jesus came to seek and to save that which was lost - that is each and every one of us. He persistently pursues us, and when the lost is found, there is rejoicing in Heaven!

Welcome to the Grace in Focus podcast. Today, Bob Wilkin and Ken Yates are addressing another “Tough Text” – a chapter in Luke where Jesus tells three parables about lost items. What do these lost items represent? What is the point of these three Parables? What is the condition of the representative items in regard

2521 - If the gospel comes to the Jews first, are Gentiles second in God's Kingdom? Even though Yeshua was sent to the Lost Sheep of the house of Israel, Gentiles too can become grafted-in sheep! As the Lobstermen in training test their manly mettle in hunting wild turkeys, they learn more about God's plan for the Jewish People.

John 6 is a chapter that can be overlooked when reading the dialogue between Jesus and the disciples.  Jesus had more than twelve disciples and John 6:66 tells us that "many" walked away and walked with Him no more.  How different is the interaction in John 6 in comparison to the modern culture of the church.  Many followed Jesus for what He could do for them, but Jesus wanted them to enter into communion with Him. To believe and trust in Him.  When the disciples walked away Jesus asked the twelve if they were going to walk away.  Simon Peter answered Him, Lord, to whom shall we go?  You have the words of eternal life.  Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.  Within this episode we take a look into the parable of the lost sheep because there was more than one disciple that walked away from Jesus in John 6 but yet Jesus does not go after them.   Could it be that maybe the way we have been taught to view the parable of the lost sheep is not saying what we have been hearing over the years.  

Luke 15:1-7. We've all lost something before. In Luke 15, Jesus reminds us that heaven rejoices when even one lost sheep is found. In this message we explore what it means to stop grumbling, start receiving, and pursue those far from God with the same urgency as a shepherd who won't rest until every sheep is safe. Because to Jesus, every number has a name, and every person has value. Listen in as we unpack the parable of the lost sheep, challenge ourselves to join the search, and discover how joy in heaven starts with just one more.For upcoming events and important announcements at Skyline, visit our Facebook page for the latest details!If you'd like to check out more resources, get to know Skyline Church, or donate to our ministry and missions please visit www.skylineofallon.com.

This week, we close out our Stories of Jesus series with one of His most beloved parables—the Lost Sheep. Jesus shows us the heart of God: a Shepherd who doesn't settle for ninety-nine but goes searching until He finds the one. What does that mean for us as His church today? We hope you will be encouraged.

In this sermon from Luke 15:1-10, Austin Farley looks at how the Parable of the Lost Sheep and the Parable of the Lost Coin reveal the heart of our Redeemer, the joy of our Savior, and the hope of our mission. Like our God who goes after the lost sheep and rejoices over the repentant sinner, may we care enough about those around us to share the message of hope and salvation found only in Jesus Christ. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

Exposition of Luke 15:1-10

Jesus Followers Must Meet Jesus' Expectation of His “Great Commission” By Both “Going” and “Making Disciples” MESSAGE SUMMARY: Jesus, in Luke 15:4-7, tells us, through His Parable of The Lost Sheep, the importance to God of our discipleship: “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.' Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.". Immediately before His Ascension into Heaven Jesus told the Apostles and us today, in His Great Commission found in Matthew 28:18-20, that as we go into our communities and into all parts of the world, we are to make disciples: “And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.'”. We must begin, as followers of Jesus, to meet His fundamental expectation for us by both going and making disciples!   TODAY'S PRAYER: Abba Father, I open my clenched fists to surrender everything you have given to me. Reestablish my identity in you — not in my family, my work, my accomplishments, or what others think of me. Cleanse the things in me that are not conformed to your will. By faith I unite my will to yours so that the likeness of Jesus Christ may be formed in me. In his name, amen.         Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 85). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Addictions. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Self-Control. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

In a world that often values the crowd over the individual, Jesus tells a story that flips the script, one of Jesus' most beloved parables, the Parable of the Lost Sheep. This Sunday we'll examine the scandalous grace that seeks out the wayward and throws a party when they are found. Whether you've wandered far or stayed near, this parable invites all of us to meditate on the radical, pursuing love of the Good Shepherd.

Poem LXX from Charlotte Mason's “The Saviour of the World,” Volume VI Book IV.

Greg Hubbard's message focuses on Luke 15 and the parables of the lost sheep, lost coin, and lost son, illustrating God's relentless pursuit of those who are lost, regardless of the reason for their wandering or disconnection. It emphasizes God's unyielding love and grace, encouraging people to return to Him, as He is actively searching and waiting to restore them to their rightful place.

Beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself. — Luke 24:27 The two disciples from Emmaus needed to be reminded that they belonged to Jesus. They were like lost and confused sheep that couldn't articulate what they were feeling. They also needed to hear the Lord's story again in all of its beautiful simplicity and complexity. Like a good teacher, Jesus retaught his students so that they would be well prepared to tell his good-news story to others. While Jesus' closest disciples hid from the authorities who had arrested and sentenced him, these two sheep had fled for the distant safety of their home in Emmaus. Thinking that Jesus was a stranger, they shared about their trauma and disappointment with their shepherd, and he helped them make sense of recent events by rooting his death and resurrection in all the Scriptures had said about him. Jesus gave them the Word to feast on, despite their doubts and fears and the threats of their enemies. The disciples' encounter with the living Word and what the Scriptures said about him changed their lives forever. We are reminded that we too need to know God's big story so that we can make sense of how God keeps working in his world today. It can be easy to be overwhelmed by surprising, chaotic events and forget God's promises, invitations, and commands to us today. How have you responded to the Lord's invitation to feast on his Word today? Lord, thank you for your Word, and help us to feast on it daily. Amen.

. . . Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; but they were kept from recognizing him. — Luke 24:15-16 Does it seem unfair that these disciples were kept from seeing Jesus? I have heard people say that it seems Jesus was being tricky here. While Jesus walks along with them, the disciples think he is an out-of-touch stranger who has no idea what happened recently in Jerusalem. But let's look at this from a different angle. From a teaching and learning perspective, Jesus makes a brilliant move. The disciples do not know Jesus is right there with him, so they can express their misunderstanding and frustration without being distracted. They have no need to try to act as they would if they knew he was there. They have room to hear God's story all over again and to begin learning anew. We learn that they also asked each other later, “Were not our hearts burning within us as he talked with us . . . ?” Somewhere deep inside they sensed that their fellow traveler had remarkable understanding and authority as he spoke about the Scriptures, but first they needed to be in a space where they could be redirected. Jesus their shepherd had more than one agenda to attend to in order for them to grow as disciples who would be invited to share in his mission. While not being able to recognize him, they could begin to develop spiritual eyes of faith by which all new disciples would begin to see him. How has the good shepherd gotten your attention lately? What is he trying to teach you? Lord, help us to learn anew and to be more attentive so that we can see you at work in the world today. Amen.
