    Reading

    Matthew 18:10–14 ESV
    “See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven. What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? And if he finds it, truly, I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray. So it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
    Luke 15 ESV
    Now the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him. And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.” So he told them this parable: “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? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 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.’ 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. “Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it? And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.’ Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” And he said, “There was a man who had two sons. And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of property that is coming to me.’ And he divided his property between them. Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in reckless living. And when he had spent everything, a severe famine arose in that country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs. And he was longing to be fed with the pods that the pigs ate, and no one gave him anything. “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have more than enough bread, but I perish here with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired servants.” ’ And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate. For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to celebrate. “Now his older son was in the field, and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. And he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant. And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and sound.’ But he was angry and refused to go in. His father came out and entreated him, but he answered his father, ‘Look, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your command, yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might celebrate with my friends. But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your property with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him!’ And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. It was fitting to celebrate and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.’ ”

    Sermon

    Temptations to Sin
    better to lose a limb, or eye
    salt & fire
    saltiness
    Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.
    How you live matters
    Salvation is not just conversion, but also reaching the end
    Matthew 18:10 ESV
    “See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
    ‘Now the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him. And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.”’
    They despised sinners and the back slidden
    DO NOT despise one of these
    God Loves and cares for them

    Parable of the Lost Sheep

    Luke 15:3–7 ESV
    So he told them this parable: “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? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 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.’ 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.
    100 Sheep
    1 goes stray (approx £40-50)
    Shephard will secure the 99, and search out the 1
    He will search high and low
    When he finds it he will celebrate, and will tell everyone
    “there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance”
    figure of speech
    like a teacher saying “I am more pleased with students who study diligently than with those who have all the answers”
    means “I am pleased with students who study diligently, but not with those who refuse to study because they think, they know it all”
    1 conversion - 99 self-righteous
    1 back slider - 99 believers

    Parable of the Lost Coin

    Luke 15:8–10 ESV
    “Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it? And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.’ Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
    10 silver coins
    1 is lost (daily wage, approx £40-50) - may also have sentimental value (marriage dowry, worn as jewelry)
    She lights a lamp and sweeps the house seeking the coin
    lamp - gospel
    broom - the law of God
    When she finds it she celebrates, and will tell everyone
    “there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
    Summary
    do not hate them
    do not regard them with indifference
    welcome them when they come to you
    seek after them

    Parable of the Lost Sons (Prodigal Son)

    Luke 15:11–13 ESV
    And he said, “There was a man who had two sons. And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of property that is coming to me.’ And he divided his property between them. Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in reckless living.
    Younger son wants freedom, and his inheritance early
    destruction of the relationship - rejection
    removal from loving care of the family (both ways)
    Father divides the inheritance between his sons (normally 2/3rds to older son)
    Younger son takes up all that is his and leaves for a far country
    He squanders everything in reckless living
    Luke 15:14–19 ESV
    And when he had spent everything, a severe famine arose in that country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs. And he was longing to be fed with the pods that the pigs ate, and no one gave him anything. “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have more than enough bread, but I perish here with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired servants.” ’
    He ran out of money
    Severe famine arose
    He began to be in desperate need
    He works for a farmer looking after pigs, and resorts to eating the pods the pigs were given to eat
    Eventually realises that even the lowest of his fathers servants are given enough bread to eat
    Younger son Planned Statement: “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired servants.”
    Luke 15:20–24 ESV
    And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate. For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to celebrate.
    He returns home to ask to become the lowest of the servants
    Father sees him and rushes out to greet him
    Younger son says: “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son. “
    He never got to say “Treat me as one of your hired servants.”
    Father commanded a servant to get the best robe, a formal/signet ring, and shoes
    He has the a fattened calf to be killed to provide the meal
    Gathers everyone and celebrates
    “For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found”
    Luke 15:25–32 ESV
    “Now his older son was in the field, and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. And he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant. And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and sound.’ But he was angry and refused to go in. His father came out and entreated him, but he answered his father, ‘Look, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your command, yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might celebrate with my friends. But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your property with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him!’ And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. It was fitting to celebrate and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.’ ”
    Older brother approaches from working in the field and hears and asks about the celebration
    Outwardly obedience and inwardly self-righteous
    Immediately he is angry, and refuses to go inside
    Fathers comes out to him to plead with him
    Brother complains: ‘Look, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your command, yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might celebrate with my friends. But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your property with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him!’
    Father replies: “‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. It was fitting to celebrate and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.’ ”
