In this message, Pastor Eric explores the dichotomy of “lost” vs. “found.” How often does our world separate out those who are "in" as "found," and those who are not as "lost." And how often, we then give these a value: to be lost is "bad"--and one who is lost is somehow deficient--and to be found is "good," as is the one who is found.But what if we took these value judgments out. What if one can be both found AND lost at the same time, or in the same season?Through Jesus's "Parable of the Lost Sheep," Pastor Eric invites us to consider: what if lost or found is not a dichotomy where we choose one and avoid the other, but rather an invitation to recognize how, throughout life, we find ourselves moving between the two, embodying both. Rather than judging them, what if considering how this is true for us simply invites deeper reflection as we continue growing along life's journey?
