Service Notes:
Pat shared a vision of Jesus in heaven dripping with Love. The Lord told her He wants Red Deer to be a beacon of light and she was told to go to the priests and pastors of Red Deer and tell them the vision.
Leadership prayed for the new leaders.
Pastor Stan preached:
Verses: Luke 15:1-7
-this story would have shocked its hearers as it’s offensive since shepherds were outcasts and sheep were dirty
-leaving 100 sheep is reckless and dangerous and any respect shepherd would go after the one, it makes no sense! BUT this is how reckless Gods Love for us is!!!!!!!
-there is more rejoicing in heaven over one lost sheep (repenting person) than over the 99 who don’t need to repent
-the religious of the day didn’t like the homeless and sinners as they thought he was approving of their sins but in fact He was just there loving them.
-notice the Joy of the shepherd when He finds that one lost (one sinner repents). God does a happy dance and takes GREAT JOY when just one repents and turns back to Him, there is a huge party!!!
-why did he take the sheep home at the end? He was so full of Joy he even forgot about the other 99!
-We are the church of the one, God has called us to continue to seek after the one lost, the addict, the broken marriage, the lost.
-there are plenty of churches to the 99 and they serve their purpose. It might be hard to come to our church when it’s not perfect and the sound maybe is not 100%, it’s not important if you like to come here or not but it’s all worth it when one repents and just one comes to Christ?
-it’s likely that God is not building a mega church in Potters Hands, we will be a group of people that lead others to Christ and disciple them. It’s not Stan’s job to get people saved, you are capable of doing that! We are to be a fisher of men.
When was the last time you asked someone if they want to know Jesus and offered to pray with them to accept Jesus?
He wants you to be that Kingdom worker! The one that seems and saves the lost.
It’s your job and ministry to pray for and ask your friends to accept Christ.
Had an opportunity for people to accept Christ and three people came forward, yahoo!!!!
