Last week we began a new sermon series called “Lost and Found,” which will run through the end of October. In this series, we focus on stories from Luke 15-17 and continue to think about what a Spirit-filled, Spirit-led life looks like.
This week’s text is the second of three “lost-and-found” parables in Luke 15. Even though the parable of the lost coin is short and sweet, it has some unique things to tell us.
How did the coin get lost? Why was it so urgent to find it? Why was there such joy at the end when the lost coin was finally discovered—so much joy that the woman told her family and friends about it?
