Big Idea: Focus on one at a time. 

Luke 15:1–7 (ESV)

1 Now the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him. 

2 And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.” 

3 So he told them this parable: 

4 “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? 

5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 

6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’ 

7 Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.

1) Receive people they are.

6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’

4 May he grant your heart’s desires and make all your plans succeed.

4) Realize we’ve all been .

7Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.
