It’s a disruptive story about a God whose love defies social norms, economic logic, and religious expectations.\nIn this sermon, we explore:\nWhy the religious leaders were uncomfortable with Jesus\nThe social pressure of belonging and “normal” faith\nThe economics of grace (why leaving the 99 makes no sense)\nWhether we are the lost sheep… the 99… or invited to become like the shepherd\nWhat radical grace means in a polarized world\nJesus doesn’t offer a technical theological argument here.\nHe offers a story that forces us to ask:\n👉 What is God actually like?\n👉 Who gets left outside?\n👉 And what if grace is far more unreasonable than we’re comfortable with?\nWhether you’ve felt lost, left out, written off — or whether you’ve struggled with who belongs — this parable speaks directly to us.\nScripture: Luke 15:1–7\nSeries: Parables of Grace\n—\nIf this message resonates with you, consider subscribing for more teachings exploring the radical grace and upside-down kingdom of Jesus.\n#LostSheep #Luke15 #ParablesOfJesus #Grace #ChristianSermon #BibleTeaching #ChurchOnline #Jesus #Faith #RadicalGrace","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/icwXcrJQyrNlhck0A-v9WDGWKhB8Uyi0q6ZPjuvnhoM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kMDQw/ODJmNWNlZmZkYzUz/YzIyZDkwZTZiZmVk/MDllMC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
