Thursday, March 27: In Luke 15, Jesus tells three unforgettable parables that paint a vivid picture of God’s heart for the lost. The religious leaders are grumbling about the company Jesus keeps—tax collectors, sinners, outcasts. But instead of arguing, Jesus responds with stories: a shepherd leaves ninety-nine sheep to find the one who wandered, a woman turns her house upside down to find a lost coin, and a father runs to embrace his wayward son.
Each story reveals a God who doesn’t wait passively but searches, calls, restores, and rejoices. It’s not about what’s been lost—it’s about who’s doing the finding. And the joy of heaven erupts not over rule-keepers, but over repentant hearts returning home.
This episode explores how these parables confront both the wandering and the self-righteous among us. Whether you’re the prodigal child, the overlooked coin, or the bitter older sibling, there’s a place for you at the table. Jesus isn’t just telling these stories—He’s living them. Come join the search party and discover the radical joy of the Kingdom.
