Hopefully everyone has experienced the feeling of being attractive… 

Who do you attract?

My wife will tell you I attract a lot of young girls and strange or odd people.

Who do you attract?

Who does our church attract?

WE HAVE TO START HERE…

 -  **The prodigal story, boy takes his $, spends it, eats slop, comes back begging, Father takes him back in

BUT THATS NOT HOW THE STORY STARTS

AGAIN…WHO DO YOU / WHO DO WE ATTRACT? 

JESUS ATTRACTED SINNERS WHILE THE

RELIGIOUS REPELLED THEM. 

*The quote: you are so full of what is right, you have lost the ability to love. 

Jesus didn’t just come to save the lost… but to love the lost… to the point of eating with them (be a part of my family) 

*What’s worse? Being lost? Or not knowing your lost?

The pharisees could see who was lost…

  - But they could not see who was loved…

  - But they could not see they themselves as lost. 

Jackie Robinson in 1947 broke the color barrier… but it took Pee Wee Reese his friend and second basemen of the Dodgers to break the hate. 

May 13th 1947 the Dodgers are playing the Cincinnati Reds….
