Fall Series: "Upside Down Autumn: Luke & the Counter-Intuitive Reign of God"
This week: Part 1. Lost is Found (Luke 15:1-10)
This Sunday we begin a new series called Upside Down Autumn, following the lectionary through a string of parables and stories in the Gospel of Luke. Most of these stories are unique to Luke, and they reveal one of the author’s central conviction: the Reign of God turns our expectations upside down. In God’s Eternal Community, power looks like service, mercy outruns merit, and the overlooked become the center of the story. And in this upside-down reality, we discover a freedom from the fears and struggles that so often hold us captive.
This week’s message is called “Lost is Found.” In Luke 15, Jesus responds to criticism for eating with sinners and tax collectors by telling stories of a shepherd who risks ninety-nine sheep for one, and a woman who sweeps her whole house for a single coin. In a world that values efficiency, numbers, and return on investment, Jesus shows us a God who leaves everything for the one who is lost. That’s good news not only for the neighbor who feels invisible, but for each of us—because it means our value is not in what we’ve earned, but in the relentless love of God who seeks us, finds us, and carries us home.
