Understanding Christianity

The Pharisees grumbled that Jesus received or welcomed the prostitutes and tax collectors. Jesus tells three parables about something being lost, then found, followed by a party. How do the 3 parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son picture our Savior's acceptance of sinners? Our heavenly Father loves to receive sinners who genuinely repent. In this sermon Pastor Sean asks three questions: (1) What does it mean to be a sinner? (2) What does it mean to genuinely repent? and (3) How does God respond to sinners who genuinely repent? www.seancole.net
