IN WORSHIP THIS SUNDAY
The Parable of the Lost Sheep
Reading the Bible can be like going to the movies – some of the stories don’t quite ring true. A man endangers 99 sheep to look for one lost ewe? A woman throws a costly celebration when she finds a missing penny? It seems pretty unreal … like in the movies when people start dancing in the street, and everyone joins in and knows the choreography. So what is the real story behind this parable story? Let’s go behind the scenes and see what the gospel says about God’s truth and Her joy in finding the lost!?

Prayer for This Sunday:
Draw closer to us, our God, Rock, and Redeemer, for our travels have made us thirsty, our trials have made us weary, our tribulations have pushed us apart; leaving us longing for the nourishment and refreshment that only you can provide. Amen.
