anybody excited about this series today anybody love Jesus at stra Square want you to look at your neighbor whichever one you like the best just say neighbor neighbor God loves blank blank look at your other neighbor the one you ignored say other neighbor neighbor God loves God loves blank over the next 6 weeks we're going to go on a journey together and we are going to fill in the blank of God loves blank I know some of you in here you have tiptoe anticipation you're like oh I can't wait to fill in the blanks we're
going to fill in the blanks for six weeks in this series but before we even fill in the blank of who God loves can I tell you who I hate I know that's a bad way to start a message but C can I tell you Hate's a bad word can I can I tell you who I strongly dislike and have a disdain for I strongly dislike people who hurt and mistreat my kids all the parents in here are shaking their head all the parents in here are going I feel you on that one cuz if
you have kids you know that anytime somebody hurts or mistreats one of your kids something on the inside of you Rises up up and it makes you feel some type of way when people treat your children wrong I'm telling you I have issues with people that mistreat or hurt my kids and I realized all three of my beautiful humans I think we got a picture of them there they are right there they're cute they're still in the sanctification process I know they're not all saved but if you treat them poorly or you hurt them I'm
going to feel some type of way and I'm not just talking about like a teacher or like a coach or something I'm talking about other kids yes I'm I'm confessing this to you I am a preacher of the Gospel graduated from Bible College saved Sanctified and filled with the Holy Spirit however I am tempted to kick a kid if that kid messes with my kid and here's the real and raw reality that if you treat one of my kids wrong there's not really much you can do to compensate for that like you can give me
an offering you can come to church you could sing me songs but none of that will compensate for you treating one of my kids poorly it works in Reverse as well because how many you know one of the greatest ways you can show me that you love me is to treat my kids right matter of fact one of the greatest ways way you can let me know that you honor me is by how you honor my children I hope you see where I'm going with this today because this is the construct this is the framework
around this series God loves blank because this is not really a series for us to dive into the capacity of God's infinite ability to love us because how many you know God knows how to love he has proven his love for us if you ever doubt God's love for you look at Jesus on a cross with his arms stretched out wide and with his arm stretched out wide he says this is how much I love you this is how much I care for you as a matter of fact God is so good at love he
doesn't just do it he is it he is love personified it is not something that he does it is something that he is so anytime you're talking about love you have to include God in the conversation because he is love so this isn't a series about us going going into the depths of God's love but this is a series About Us increasing our capacity to love other people this is about you and I filling in the blank so that people around us people in our community people watch this that you don't like can know that
they are loved by God this is a series over the next six weeks that we're going to fill in the blanks on the love of God and the reality is it's only 6 weeks but how many it could go on and on and on we could fill in the blank with all kinds of people matter of fact in this series I'll just give you a preview of The Coming Attraction we're going to talk about how God loves addicts we're going to talk about how God loves families we're going to talk about how God loves prisoners
we're going to talk about how God loves the LGBT community we going to talk about how God loves families we're going to talk about how God loves Dallas we going to talk about how God loves the Dallas Cowboys amen he has to you got to keep praying for him we going talk about how God loves the world this series is going to go on and on it could because we're going to learn how in the world do we increase our capacity to love reminds me of what Jesus said to his disciples in John 13 He
said to them the world will know you are my disciples not by how you jump up and down in church not by how you sing but by how you love that's how they will know that you are one of my disciples we're going to do what Paul does in Ephesians chapter 3 when he prays this prayer look at what Paul prays to the church at Ephesus he says I pray that you being rooted and established in love may have power together with all the Lord's holy people to grasp how wide and long and how high
and deep is the love of Christ and to know that this love surpasses knowledge that you may be filled to the measure me of all the fullness of God this is our year we've been declaring as a church that we want to go deeper we want to go deeper deeper and if you're going to go deeper then your love for other people has to go deeper see when we're talking about loving other people and feeling in the blame love is not like a class that you graduate and you just throw your little Tass on the
other side and you're like I'm good I know how to love Humanity I've passed that class I'm sorry that's not how it works it's actually like going deep sea diving and in the same way a deep sea diver has to keep going deeper and deeper so that their lung capacity can handle going deeper God wants to stretch our love capacity in this series so that we can fill in the blank because if God is going to show his love to other people guess who he's going to do it through he's going to do it through
you so I'm not going to be before you long today but today we're going to fill in the first blank and in order to do that I want to go to the Gospel of Luke chapter number 15 you ready to fill in the first blank Luke chapter 15 and I going to read verses 1 through1 I'm not going to make you stand for the reading of God's word but Luke 15 starting at verse number one let's fill in the first blank and it says now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear
Jesus but the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered you know you big mad when you start muttering this man welcomes Sinners and eats with with them then Jesus told them this Parable suppose one of you has a 100 sheep and loses one of them doesn't he leave the 99 in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it and when he finds it he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says Rejoice with me I have found my lost
sheep I tell you in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repent than over 99 righteous persons who do not need to repent or suppose a woman has 10 silver Co coins and loses one doesn't she light a lamp and sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it and when she finds it she calls her friends and neighbors together and says Rejoice with me I have found my lost coin in the same way I tell you there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God
over one sinner who repents somebody give God some praise for that right there rejoicing that's what we're going to do when every single one of these candidates get baptized today we going to do what's happening in heaven we going to throw a big old party and rejoice but when you look at this Parable in Luke 15 it is so clear what the first blank is this first blank is what connects every single one of us this very first blank is what all of us were born into all of us can relate to this this first
blank of the series you ready God loves Sinners God loves sinners now I know you're looking at your neighbor like they're one and you're not but the reality is this first message applies to every single one of us God loves Sinners and we see it in Luke 15 because when I read the Gospel of Luke and the ministry of Jesus I am intrigued with the people that were attracted to the ministry of Jesus I'm Blown Away by the people that were drawn to Jesus as a matter of fact I use that as a gauge for
my success in Ministry because I believe that if we're preaching the same gospel that Jesus preached we ought to be attracting the same people that Jesus attracted and how many you know Jesus did not attract perfect put together polished people he attracted ratchet people he attracted broken people he attracted people that had some issues he attracted people that had some problems did you notice that about the ministry of Jesus that every every time he opened up his mouth every time he showed up it could have been at a stra square people from everywhere showed up
to see the ministry of Jesus people that wouldn't go to the synagogue showed up to hear Jesus because he had this magnetism about him that attracted lost broken people I'm telling you I want to be a church that's just like the ministry of Jesus that doesn't attract perfect people but attract people who say I got some issues but I got my eyes fixed on the perfect one and as long as I can get to him he'll fix what's broken in me it's amazing that he didn't just attract broken ratchet messed up people but he also
attracted religious people he also attracted the Pharisees and I don't know if the Pharisees were attracted to him or if they were attracted to the fact that Sinners were attracted to him and they weren't coming to their synagogues but religious people were attracted to Jesus too and they would show up anytime he would open up his mouth and before we typ cast all the Pharisees I know we put them as the villains in the Bible how many you know God loved the Pharisees too he didn't just love the broken people he loved the religious self-righteous
people too he had a heart for them too the only problem was they couldn't see what he was coming to offer them because it's hard to give medicine to a person who doesn't know they're sick it's hard to throw a Lifeline to a person that doesn't know they're drowning and that's why this is the entry point into salvation this is the entry point into coming to God you do not come to Jesus with your swag you do not come to Jesus with your pride you have to come to him recognizing that you are a sinner
and that you need to be saved and that you cannot fix yourself you cannot help yourself there's not enough TED Talks there's not enough podcast there's not enough Oprah classes you can watch to get yourself together you are too broken to get yourself together is there anybody in here that's a living testimony of the fact that I now I need some saving he has to have you approach him as a sinner who knows you need to be saved and isn't it interesting that both the self-righteous and the ratchet were attracted to Jesus every time he
got ready to preach and here was the self-righteous Pharisees indictment on Jesus they wanted to know while he was hanging out with Sinners that's what he was called the of Sinners they wanted to know why do you keep eating with these Sinners because to eat with somebody in that culture meant that you accepted them that you were bringing them into your circle and he had a he had a problem with the Pharisees because they didn't understand if you're really holy and you're really a rabbi why are you associating with these messed up people and I
love Jesus because he doesn't give them an answer he doesn't give them an argument he gives them a story he said you want to know why I'm hanging out with him I'm not going to give you an argument even though I can shut y'all all down he said I'm going to give you a story because how many you know storytellers rule the world there's something about a story that will change your life forever that's why those of you who are getting baptized today don't let you being baptized be the end of you telling your story
everywhere you go you need to declare what Jesus has done in your life that's how we overcome we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of Our Testimony you ain't got to go to Bible College you ain't got to memorize the Book of Leviticus some of you the best thing you can do is just tell your story of how God saved you tell your story of how he redeemed you tell your story of how you used to be out in those streets but look how God has restored you tell your story people
get saved and act like they in the witness protection program and you don't even tell your real testimony tell your testimony that's what the world needs we don't need any more people who keep acting like they got it all together we need somebody that will stand up and say yes this is who I was but that's not who I am anymore and if God can save somebody like me I know he can save somebody like you don't get it twisted I didn't used to always know these songs I used to just stand and just look
he told them a story because if you tell me a truth I might believe if you tell me a fact I might learn but if you tell me a story that story will live in my heart forever so he told him three stories he tells a story about a lost sheep say lost sheep lost sheep a lost coin say lost coin lost coin and a lost son say lost son lost son lost sheep lost sheep lost coin lost coin lost son lost son lost sheep lost sheep bad lost coin and lost son what is Jesus
trying to communicate he is communicating the state of humanity that we are all lost that our default settings are not people who are found our default settings are people who are lost Look Around The Room everybody look around this look around stra look around stra can I tell you in this room there's really only two categories of people lost and found that's the only category people you'll ever meet there are lost people and there are found people and in these three stories that are all connected he is letting us know that he is obsessed with
lost people that he is obsessed with people who are lost who don't know their way this is Luke 15 but in Luke 19:10 Jesus will tell you his mission statement for why he came from Heaven to Earth he said I came to seek and to save The Who The Lost he said that's why I came came from Heaven to Earth I came to not just save the lost but to seek out the lost it's one thing to save him is a whole another thing to be actively looking for people who are lost anybody in here
ever been lost before you ever been lost I never have I'm I'm saved but no no I I don't remember being lost but I remember a moment that I'll never forget my wife Taylor and I were at North Park Mall and we were out in the open area playing with our little humans and they were out in the field running around and as they're running around somebody came up to talk to us and we just talked to the person for a second and I will never forget finishing talking to that person and both of us
looking at our peripheral going where's our youngest where's Remy and before you know it a moment of peaceful playing in a field at North pork M turned into Panic as we could not find our youngest r me we started screaming and shouting and running all over the field I will never forget it and everybody saw our nervous panic because she was nowhere to be found we started shouting out Remy Remy Remy where are you and other parents saw us running around frantically and they started shouting out Remy Remy Remy where are you and it was
the longest three minutes of my life watching my youngest disappear when I thought I had my eye on her and I'll never forget an officer coming out of the mall with a Remy in his hand and I ran up to the officer and said thank you so much and I found Remy I'll never forget the Panic before that moment I'll never forget looking at that officer saying thank you so much for finding my baby girl I never get her face just clueless like what happened totally unaware that we almost had a panic attack and a
breakdown but you know what I didn't say in that moment moment when she was lost I did not say yeah at least I got my other two kids those words never came out of my mouth and I tell you that because that put the parable of the lost sheep in context to me because when I first read about the lost sheep and the 99 that everybody shouts about and the shepherd leaves the 99 to go find the one I'm thinking if I got a 100 sheep and I lose one if I lose 10 I'm good
they're just sheep but the reason I can say that is because those aren't my sheep and I'm not their Shepherd but when I contextualize it and realize that although I had my two kids but one was lost in that moment I was willing to do whatever I could to find that one I'm trying to tell somebody in this place how your God the Good Shepherd feels about you it does matter that he loves everybody he loves you uniquely he loves you and he will do whatever he has to do to go find the other ones
that's what matter matters that's why the shepherd can leave the 91 because the one that's lost is not just another sheep that sheep has a name it mean something to the shepherd and he said I'll do whatever I got to do to go find that one I'm willing to leave these 99 with somebody else to go find the one that is lost I'm trying to tell you the most powerful thing you can hear today God does not love us equally He Loves Us uniquely he doesn't love us equally He Loves Us uniquely and until you
get that Revelation you just think you're just another sheep yeah yeah yeah yeah God loves me no no no no I'm trying to tell you he will leave the 99 to find you because he loves you uniquely he loves all your quirks he loves your idiosyncrasies he loves you why do you think there's not a single person on this planet that has the same fingerprint is because our God loves each one of us uniquely he loves his kids not equally am but uniquely and they'll say I'll do whatever I got to do to go get
the one and I'm looking for a church that'll say I'll do whatever I have to do to go get the one when the shepherd goes and finds the one watch what he does he picks that sheep up puts it on his shoulders and carries the Sheep Home you know why he carries the Sheep home because sheep don't know how to find their way back home I know you were shouting about you being unique which you are ain't nobody like you you are you and God loves you uniquely but there are some similarities that sheep have
uh I don't want to insult you a sheep think they're smarter than they really are sheep need somebody to guide them and protect them because they ain't got no teeth they don't have no fighting mechanisms sheep can get lost easily sheep stink I'm just preaching the word sheep have a lot of fear and anxiety so sometimes they even get sh scared just by another sheep sheep when they get thirsty and they go to drink some water if they drink water from a stream that's running they'll get so busy cuz they're thirsty they'll get so busy
drinking that they'll get carried away by the thing that they went to quench their thirst you don't want to talk about that I want to talk about people that have been so thirsty and you thought that person was going to actually quench your thirst and you ended up getting carried away they they can't drink from a running stream they have to drink from Still Water that's why I want to take a praise break right there and thank God for a Good Shepherd who will guide me by Still Water because I know I'm going to get
thirsty and I don't want to get carried away by the thing I went to quench my thirst by but thank God for the Shepherd that Will Lead Me by Still Waters so my Soul can be satisfied sheep get lost because they don't know how to find their way home they need somebody to carry them it's one thing to be lost like a sheep cuz when you're lost like a sheep you know you're lost but you don't know how to get home but it's another thing to get lost like a coin some people are lost like
a sheep they just need somebody to go get them and pick them up and say come on this is home but the reason he tells the parable about the coin is there's a difference between being lost like a sheep and being lost like a coin matter of fact if you're looking for a sheep all you got to do is listen for the and you'll find the Sheep the problem with being lost like a coin is you don't know you're lost coins don't know they're lost a coin doesn't make noise when it's lost coins represent the
people who are lost but you don't know you're lost people who are lost but you don't know the value that you have and it is up to people around you to do what that woman did who cut on the light and swept the house because sometimes you can have incredible value but not know that you're lost there's some people here who are lost like a sheep and I came to tell the Good Shepherd will carry you home and there are some of you who are lost like a coin and you don't even know that you're
lost and yet you carry Great Value somebody comes to play softly behind me as I get ready to land the plane you remember in Matthew chapter 22 read it when you get to the crib they tried to trick Jesus and they said hey Jesus should we pay taxes to Caesar and I love Jesus move he said show me a coin the same type of coin that this woman would have lost and he says who image is on that coin and they said Caesars he goes okay give unto Caesar what is Caesars do you know a
deeper question that I want to ask you today especially if you're lost like a coin whose image is on you who image is on you do you realize the image of God is on you that whether you profess that Jesus is Lord or Not His Image is on every single person in humanity you have never walked past just a regular human every single human that you see has an indelible imprint of the hand of God on the their life humanity is God's Artistry and if you want to know about the artist look at the face
of the art and the art is every single person you pass every single day you've never passed an ordinary person how many you know that we are all by creation God's children because he put his image on him and the same thing he said about that coin he's saying to you if his image is on you give back to God what is God's he wants your life he wants your body he doesn't want pieces of you he wants all of you some people are lost like sheep they wander and they don't know how to get
home so the shepherd Picks Them Up takes them home some people are lost like a coin they don't know they're lost but yet they have incredible value and somebody has got a C on a lamp and sweep the house and find you and restore you the third story we didn't read it but it's about a lost son and that's a different type of loss because this son goes to his father and says Dad I want my inheritance now pretty much said dad I wish you were dead give me my inheritance Dad I'm tired of being
in your house under your rules I want to do life my way and there's some people who are lost like that you want to do life your way you're tired of the Restriction you want to live how you want to live and the prodical son ran out said I'm going to live my life the way I want I'm tired of the restriction and if I'm following the story the same way the shepherd went after the sheep the same way the woman swept the house and looked for the coin I'm expecting the father to run after
this boy as soon as he he leaving but the father doesn't do it because this boy's lostness is different he chose to leave he asked for his inheritance he didn't wander off he wanted to go he said I've got the pride of wanting to live my life the way I want to live my life and look at the grace of the Father the grace of the father said you want your inheritance okay I'll let you go and how many you know sometimes the most gracious thing God can do is to let you have your way
sometimes the most gracious thing God can do is to let you go your way and the father did not chase after this boy he waited until this boy hit rock bottom he waited until a crisis hit that's why some of y'all came to stra square right now you know you wouldn't be in church but now all of a sudden life has gotten your attention now all of a sudden the job is gone the relationship is gone the thing you put your hope in is gone all of a sudden the thing you've been drinking ain't doing
it no more and the thing you've been smoking ain't giving you the same satisfaction and even in that it is the grace of God because this is a loving savior who's been trying to get your attention saying that thing will never satisfy you and no I'm not chasing you but I'm going do like that father did I'mma stand at a distance and I'm going watch every single day and I'm waiting for you to come home and the day that that boy got to the rock bottom and he realized life ain't like this I'm better being
a slave in My Father's House the day that it came to his sensus he said I'm not worthy to be a son so I'll just go back and be a slave and look at him running back to his father's house thinking he's going to be a slave and not a son but before he could even get to the front door his daddy was there watching him waiting for him to get there and he started running towards him I don't know who this is for today but I'm telling you if you'll just take one step towards
God he'll take 20 steps towards you your life is not over he still loves you he's still waiting for for you there a beautiful savior who will run towards the one who says I'm sick of living like this and I'll come home you would think when this boy got home he would have got a speech I told you not to go away what's wrong with you but that's not the story Jesus tells why do we keep projecting this image on our heavenly father thinking he's waiting to hit you upside your head when you come back
home thinking he's going to remind you of all your mistakes that's not what the story tells the story follows the same pattern of the sheep and the coin and the sun when they found the Sheep they turned up and had a party when the lady found the coin she rejoiced and had a party and when that boy who came back who had wasted his father's inheritance who made all the wrong decisions who was broke busted and disgusted he didn't get a speech of how wrong he was he said no no no no no y'all get
the fatty cast DJ play some music real quick my son was dead but now he's found that is the character of God that if you'll come to him he so loves Sinners that the day you return he is ready to throw a party he is ready to Rejoice because you're his child and so today before we start this baptism I thought we could have a [Music] party I thought that maybe there's somebody here who feels lost like a sheep and you don't know how to find your way home God told me to tell you he'll
pick you up he'll carry you home I feel like there's somebody here who maybe you feel lost like a coin and you don't know you're lost maybe you don't even know you have value and I came to tell you that the very image of God is on you you were created in His image and I'm sweeping the house and cutting on the lamp today saying This savior wants relationship with you and maybe you're lost like this prodal son who said I'm sick of being in my father's house who made a willful decision to go away
and yet the father stood at the house waiting for him to come home and ran towards him why did he run towards them because God loves sinners he loves Sinners because he is a savior and all of us need the saving power of this gracious father so before we start this party before we start the celebration where over 300 people today are going to make a public Declaration of their faith and going from Death to life I want every person to Bow their head and close their eyes because I feel like they're there's somebody that
needs to be added to the guest list and you don't know why you came today maybe you came to watch somebody else get baptized but God is speaking to your heart that's what I love about this savior he knows how to speak to you directly some of you what you've been going through is God trying to get your attention he loves Sinners he's not repulsed by you he's in love with you so much so that while you were a sinner when you weren't thinking about him he already made a decision to give his life for
you and so with heads bowed and eyes closed all over stra square right here in the middle of downtown Dallas today I want to give somebody I don't care if it's one person I want to give somebody an opportunity to come home we say it all the time here at Social Dallas you can always come home and it comes right out of this in Luke 15 that boy didn't think he could come home he thought he messed up too bad and I came to tell her you have not messed up too bad you can come
home you don't get yourself together to come to Jesus he didn't have time to take a bath the father just put a robe on him he didn't even have time to shower the father covered him so if you're here today and say Pastor Robert today my day I know God's been calling me home and today I need to give him my life I need to surrender my life to him I'm not asking you if you have relationship with church I'm asking you do you have relationship with Jesus the God who loves you so much heads
are bound eyes are closed if that's you all over this place you say Pastor Robert would you include me in this closing prayer I need to give him my life or maybe there was a season in your life you were running after God but you turned your back and and he's calling you back home you sense him calling you back you let a church person make you walk away from God and God's saying you projected the character of man and the church onto me I am a good father who's always ready for you to come
home if that's you saying I need to give him my life or maybe you need to rededicate your life to him I'm going to ask you to be so bold and so brave just lift up your hand high enough and long enough to where I could see it one 2 three can I see your hand wow hands are going up all over stra Square today thank you Jesus thank you Jesus anybody else come on if you lifted up that hand would you stand to your feet unashamed just stand to your feet all over this place

me is the precious blood that you shed on your cross that's the only thing that can redeem me not my good works not my good behavior that was the problem with the other son in Luke 15 he thought his behavior is what qualified him for the love of God your good works means nothing it's the finished work of what Jesus has done so here's what I want us to do all over this place can we lift up our hands but especially those of you at the front just as a sign of surrender to this wonderful
Savior and I want you to pray this prayer as I give you the words say dear Jesus today I come to you with my hands lifted because I Surrender Lord I know I cannot do life without you I need you Jesus I believe that you are the Son of God I believe that you died for me you got up from the grave for me and so my response is to surrender all of me for all of you Jesus thank you for loving Sinners I know I'm a sinner but I also know you're a savior save
me Set Me Free in Jesus Jesus name amen amen amen amen come on and give God the best hand clap of Praise that you got come on you could do better than that would you give Jesus the best shout of praise you ought to praise him like you know hell lost another one hell lost a whole lot look at all these people up here that are testifying that God loves Sinners but he doesn't just love them he saves them and he sets them free somebody ought to shout like you want all of the city of
Dallas to know our God still saves Our God still [Music] deliver
