Centering Case Study Part I

Luke 15:1-10

Rev. Barrett Owen

In Luke 15, Jesus introduces three parables that deserve our attention. The first two are the Lost Sheep and Coin. Together these parables help us see that no matter how hard we try to avoid it, sin is part of the deal. We will lose our way. We will find our way to the circumference. We must learn to see when we were (or are) lost, admit we have missed the mark, and repent so we can be found.
