You know when you travel on an airplane...
and sometimes the person next you asks,...
what you do for a living.
Well, a preacher wanted to be a bit creative,...
when he was asked by a passenger next to him,...
of what he did for a living.
So one day he sat next to this lady on the airplane...
and he turns to her and says “hello,”
she says oh “hello” and they start talking.
And the pastor asked her “where are you going?”
and she said “Singapore,”
then she asked him, “where are you headed?”
And he said “I’m going to Australia,”
Then He asked her “what do you do?”
So she told him and then she asked the pastor, “what do you do?”
And he said well….(pause)
“I work for a global enterprise.”
She said to him “do you?”
His response was “yes, we’ve got outlets in nearly ever country of the world.”
She said “have you?”
His response was “yes, we’ve got hospitals,
and hospices, homeless shelters, orphanages,
we have feeding programs, we do justice work,
we do reconciliation work, we do marriage work.
Basically we look after people from birth to death.
And we deal in the area of behavioral alteration.”
And she went WOW!!
Like really loud, that all turned around and looked at them.
So she asked, “what’s it called?”
he said “CHURCH have you heard of it?”
You know friends, it is really good for us to realize that as Christians,
we are part of a global enterprise.
And as Christians, we are to be the hands and the feet of Jesus...
blessing and serving both locally and globally, Amen?
Just imagine for a moment that a family has three sons...
and let’s just say that the father says to his sons,
Hey guys we haven’t had family time in a while,
can we hang out together for a day.
Let’s go to the park and have a picnic...
and just have a nice day to catch up.
And of course the boys are all excited...
and the whole family, mom, dad, and the three boys...,
head off to the park for a day of fun and adventure.
And then at the end of the day...
the family packs everything up...
and the parents realize they’ve got only their youngest son with them,
let’s name him, Benjamin
but they lost the other two, let’s call them Michael and Simeon.
So they say let’s go into the forest and search for them.
They search around the forest...
and they can only find Simeon,
but they can’t find Michael.
And the father says, “oh never mind let’s just go home.
we win some and loose some.
Do you know what I mean?
we lost two and got one back.
we lost two and got one back.
Sometimes you just got to count your losses.
Right?
NO! No! what would the parents do?
They would search for Michael until he would be found, right?
That is the kind of analogy that is used in Scripture...
to inspire us, and to encourage us,...
to serve, love, seek and to save people who are lost.
If you have your Bibles, turn with me to (Read),
here we have the story of a shepherd who lost one sheep.
Did the shepherd say, oh well, I still have 99?,
you win some, you lose some.
Or did the shepherd come after the one lost sheep,
to seek and to save.
Jesus came to this planet to seek and to save the lost,
and even if there would be only one lost person...,
Jesus still would’ve come for that one to seek and to save.
Now how is Jesus seeking and saving the lost today?
Well before we answer that question...,
let’s look at another story Jesus shares here in , look at verses 8-10.
Notice this time it is not a shepherd, but a woman who loses one coin.
Where does she lose the coin?
She loses the coin in the house.
Is it possible to be in church and still be lost?
Jesus is looking for the lost ,both in the house and outside the house.
And how is Jesus looking for, seeking for the lost today?
Let’s turn to (Read).
The way Jesus looks for the lost today...
is to empower His followers with the Holy Spirit...
that they may be His hands and feet...
and through His followers to seek those that are lost.
when the Holy Spirit came on the first followers of Jesus,
the Holy Spirit empowered them to be witnesses.
Now as a Christian, whether you like it or not, we are a witness.
So either we’re a good witness or a bad witness.
And the problem with so many Christians...
is that they seem to have taken literally what Jesus said to three disciples...
“see that you tell no one”.
But the Spirit empowered us to be witnesses...
and one of the dangers being a Christian is that we enjoy amazing worships.
I love worship, I just soak it in.
you are tuning into the melody of heaven and you want more.
Right?
And many of us are constantly worshipping...
