4 LETTER WORDS!” ARE THEY YOUR PROBLEM?
DO ANY OF YOU HAVE TROUBLE WITH “FOUR LETTER WORDS?”

JESUS USED A “4 LETTER WORD”
You can read it yourself, if you turn in your Bibles (raise them!) to Luke 15 and Luke 19!
The Bible says: “Out of the heart, the mouth speaks!”

LOST People do not like it or hate to admit it!
PEOPLE DON’T WANT TO SAY THEY ARE “LOST!”

Remember: “Until you admit you are lost, you will not find a better direction!”
WHY DID HE TELL THE STORIES IN THIS ORDER?
HOW DID JESUS HELP THE LOST?
Why did the "lost" seek out Jesus rather than run from him?

WE MUST “HAVE COMPASSION” FOR THE LOST!
3 WAYS…to respond to lost!
3 WAYS…to respond to lost!
The 1st group is the bystanders and onlookers
They are curious and watch to see what happens but have little active involvement.

The 2nd group is the police officers
who investigate the cause of the accident, assigns blame, and gives out appropriate warnings and punishments.

The 3rd group is the paramedics
They are the people usually most welcomed by those involved in the accident. They could care less whose fault the accident was and they did not engage in lecturing about bad driving habits. Their response was to help those who were hurt. They bandaged wounds, freed trapped people, and gave words of encouragement.

#2 WE MUST “INTENSIFY EFFORTS” TO REACH AND RESCUE THE LOST!
#3 We must never quit
If we would seek the lost THINGS of this world how much more should we seek the lost SOULS or PEOPLE of this world!
We must not WAIT for the lost SOULS to come to us.
WE MUST NEVER QUIT SEEKING THE LOST!
If lost people matter this much to God, shouldn’t they matter this much to us?
JESUS WANTED TO REACH THE LOST!
IF YOU HAVE ACCEPTED JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR…you have a duty to “go & make disciples” or help the church that has that as its goal!
WHAT’S NEXT? In 2017…
