Sunday Evening Service – 2/9/25
The Parable of the Lost Sheep appears twice in Scripture—once in Matthew 18 and again in Luke 15. Many assume Jesus told this parable only once, with both accounts simply recording the same event. However, as Pastor Preston James reveals, Jesus actually shared this parable on two separate occasions, each with a distinct context. In Matthew 18, the parable speaks directly to the church, highlighting our responsibility as the body of Christ to care for and pursue those who are spiritually lost. Pastor James explores how this parable not only connects to the broader message of Matthew 18 but also ties into themes from Matthew 17. Don’t miss this enlightening sermon that will deepen your understanding of Jesus’ teaching and our role in His kingdom!
