When Jesus told the story of the lost sheep (Luke 15; Matthew 18), He wasn’t spinning a sweet bedtime tale. He was confronting the Pharisees, scandalizing the religious, and revealing a God who throws a party when one loser comes staggering home.
In this episode of The Semi-Seminarian Podcast, Pastor Jim takes you into the sandals of the story — the grumbling Pharisees, the one wandering sheep, and the Shepherd who won’t stop until He finds what was lost. Along the way, we connect the dots to last week’s Prodigal Son, show how Luke 15’s parables form a chiastic crescendo (Sheep → Coin → Son), and uncover why grace offends the righteous as much as it saves the sinner.
If you’ve ever wondered:
- Does God really care about me?
- Why would heaven throw a party over one screw-up?
- How do the Pharisees still sneak into our pews today?
…then this one’s for you.
Whether you’re a believer, skeptic, or just wandering in from the pasture, this is good news you can’t afford to miss.
