Lost and Found

The Sixth Sunday After Pentecost

Pastor Lauren continues her series of sermons – “Let Me Tell You A STORY” – from Jesus’ parables. The Gospel text is from Luke 15:1-10. In this passage Jesus uses the example of a lost sheep to teach us that every single one of us is loved by God, and that the angels in heaven rejoice when a sinner who is lost repents and is found.
