Why the Long Game Matters
Lost sheep. Lost coin. Lost son. Luke 15 unfolds as a single story told three ways—each one revealing a God who searches, waits, and celebrates before everything is neatly resolved. From the shepherd who goes after one, to the woman who turns the house upside down, to the father who runs down the road, the pattern is the same: heaven rejoices over what is found, even while the story is still unfolding. Terry asks the question the stories are asking: If this is how God responds to the lost, what kind of heart is He forming in us—especially when grace arrives early, and not everyone is ready to celebrate?
Series Information
Terry proclaims the one Gospel through the history, research, rememberings and faith expressed in the text of the Gospel According to Luke. Jesus himself is the good news expressed by Luke. Beginning with the birth narratives unique to Luke's presentation, the good news of the Kingdom explodes into faithful view as each account, teaching, parable and event lived out and offered by Jesus, the Messiah-King, is examined the way Luke seemingly examined Jesus in his own work. Here we find a Jesus to love, a Jesus to follow, and ultimately a Jesus to worship.
