Pastor Billy's main idea revolved around the love and persistence of God in seeking the lost, as depicted in Luke 15. He emphasized that God's love is relentless and unconditional, always ready to welcome back those who have wandered away. Through the parables of the lost sheep, coin, and sons, we were encouraged to reflect God's love by actively seeking and rejoicing when the lost return to their rightful place in God's family.
Luke 15, John 3:16, Isaiah 53:5-6

In his inspiring message, Pastor Billy shared with us about the joy and hope when the lost return home. He used the parable of the lost sheep, coin, and sons from Luke 15 to highlight how God rejoices over one sinner who repents. We were reminded of God's immense love for the lost and His eagerness to welcome them back, just as we should in our own lives. Pastor Billy encouraged us to embrace those who have strayed, assuring us that what is lost can indeed be found again.
