Luke 15 is a threefold parable, a bit like a three-leafed shamrock clover, that Jesus told about lostness. The Sunday School definition of a parable is that it’s an earthly story with a heavenly meaning. So, when Jesus talks about sheep, coins and sons, He's not just an entertaining storyteller: He's illustrating heaven’s spiritual truths.

The first of Paul’s three “pastoral epistles,” 1 Timothy focuses on the church as a “pillar and buttress of the truth” (1 Timothy 3:15). In the letter, Paul commands Timothy to “guard the deposit” (1 Timothy 6:20) by combatting false teachers, protecting the flock of Christ, and structuring the church well. 1 Timothy shows us the incredible privilege of being in God’s church and the high calling of leading it.

In Luke 15, Christ shows us that the reason we all need the gospel is because of the hopelessness of our sin.

We will discover the sweet surprise that God is beyond our human expectations.
