Join Pastor Stuart as we continue in our series, Someone Like You, where we seek to answer the question, "Who does Jesus care about?" In this lesson, we turn to the Gospel According to Luke 15:1-10 to hear the Good News of . . . "The Seeking and Celebrating God". In this lesson, we learn: The parable of the lost sheep and coin tell us important truths about what God is like. God is the diligent seeker of people who are “lost.” God celebrates when a sinner repents. These two truths sum up the ministry of Jesus. They should also sum up the ministry of his church. So, let’s all realize the good and gracious character of God the Father, keep coming to Jesus, and grow in reflecting him by the work of the Spirit.

He also satisfies God’s just judgment against our sin. Two “take aways” from these truths for those who follow Jesus: We resist the pull of tribalistic and xenophobic tendencies.

Join Pastor Stuart as we turn to the Apostle Paul's Second Letter to the Corinthians 4:1-6 to learn the important truth that . . . "It’s Not About Us, It’s About Jesus". In this lesson, we learn that . . . The message of the church is about Jesus, not about ourselves. Our lives are to reflect Jesus in all we do and say. We live this way because of what Jesus has done for us. Because our lives are about his glory, we don’t lose heart when things don’t go our way. So here is a question to reflect on this year: How do you remind yourself that your life is really about honoring Jesus? Let’s live in a way that reflects more and more of Jesus.

So, through Jesus and by the power of the Spirit let’s worship God acceptably and grow in Christlikeness. You can learn more about Westminster Presbyterian Church at https://www.westminsterpca.net.

Therefore, we can rehearse these truths so that we will be encouraged to continue to struggle against sin. So, let’s submit ourselves to our Father’s discipline that we will be more and more conformed to Christ. You can learn more about Westminster Presbyterian Church at https://www.westminsterpca.net.
