The God Who Seeks the Lost

Sep 14, 2025 • The Rev. Charlie Holt

Pharisees and scribes saw tax collectors as outsiders, but Jesus told of a shepherd who leaves ninety-nine sheep to find one. Drawing on Psalm 14 and 1 Timothy 1, the sermon argues that seeing people through God's eyes means refusing to write anyone off. Its three movements, a desire for the lost, a diligent focus on the one, and delight in the found, echo the joy in heaven over a single sinner who repents.
