Grace throws a feast, and the door is wide open. We dive into Luke 15 and trace the arc from a shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine, to a woman sweeping every corner for a single coin, to a father sprinting toward a wrecked son. These aren’t cute stories about lost things; they’re a blueprint for how God pursues people and why heaven erupts when one heart turns home. Along the way, we name the tension many of us feel: the pull between moral pride and messy mercy, between keeping score and joining the celebration.

We look closely at each parable. The lost sheep reframes value through the lens of love, not efficiency. The lost coin reveals the intensity and cost of a diligent search, including the likely cultural weight of a drachma in a bridal headdress. The prodigal son brings it home with raw honesty: sin squanders, shame rehearses, and the Father runs anyway. Then the camera shifts to the elder brother, whose obedience masks resentment. That second lostness challenges religious hearts that resist grace for others while quietly demanding it for themselves.

We also explore a leadership thread: the older brother was meant to bear responsibility for the wandering sibling. Where the Pharisees withheld pursuit, Jesus steps in as the true older brother, seeking, eating with sinners, and calling them to repent. From there we land on practical application. Confess grumbling and comparison. Build friendships across moral distance. Share meals and real life. Celebrate redemption stories even when they offend your sense of fairness. If you’ve wandered, come home. If you’re near, go out and find someone who isn’t.
