"The God Who Seeks the Lost"

Sep 14, 2025  •  Rev. Charlie Holt

In this sermon from Luke 15:1–10, Rev. Charlie Holt challenges us to see people through God’s eyes. While the Pharisees grumbled that Jesus welcomed “sinners,” He revealed the heart of the Father—who goes after the one lost sheep, who searches for the one lost coin, and who rejoices when the lost are found. Rev. Holt shares stories about social media, personal encounters, and the way labels can blind us to people’s true value. With clarity and conviction, he reminds us that every soul matters to God, and calls us to be diligent seekers, desiring the lost, delighting in the found, and extending God’s grace to all.

Scripture Reference: Luke 15:1–10


Key Themes: God’s Heart for the Lost, Grace, Evangelism, Value of Every Person, Rejoicing in Salvation
