The Main Point of the Three Stories in Luke 15 is: Lost people matter to God
1 Corinthians 9:19-24 NLT
Even though I am a free man with no master, I have become a slave to all people to bring many to Christ. When I was with the Jews, I lived like a Jew to bring the Jews to Christ. When I was with those who follow the Jewish law, I too lived under that law. Even though I am not subject to the law, I did this so I could bring to Christ those who are under the law. When I am with the Gentiles who do not follow the Jewish law, I too live apart from that law so I can bring them to Christ. But I do not ignore the law of God; I obey the law of Christ. When I am with those who are weak, I share their weakness, for I want to bring the weak to Christ. Yes, I try to find common ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some. I do everything to spread the Good News and share in its blessings. Don't you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win!

What does our passion for reaching people far from Jesus look like at True North?
1. Our mission to the lost trumps the comfort of our members
2. We pursue width, not just depth.
“So yes, we want to grow deep. But believers that grow deep without growing wide are probably not as deep as they think they are because growing deep in the gospel always makes you reach wide for the gospel. We’re not supposed to be a stagnant pond where you simply receive, receive, receive; we’re supposed to be a river where gospel water flows through us to others.” ~ Charles Spurgeon

3. We go after ALL peoples in our community, not just one kind.
