Parables of Lost Things (Part 1)
The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg discusses three parables from Luke 15 that all share a common theme of lost things being found. The parables emphasize God's concern for the lost and the joy and celebration that comes when they are found. Although there are theological debates about the decision points in the parables, Gregg highlights the importance of repentance and obedience in the stories. Overall, the parables teach about the nature of sin and the immense value of redemption in the eyes of God.
