Welcome to this week’s sermon: “The Joy of Heaven” for the Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 19, Series C). In this powerful message, Pastor Balla unpacks Luke 15:1–10, where Jesus shares the parables of the lost sheep and the lost coin. Discover how these parables reveal the heart of God toward sinners, the saving mission of Christ, and the heavenly joy that bursts forth when even one sinner repents.
This sermon reminds us of our need for repentance, the danger of pride like the Pharisees, and the true joy found in the forgiveness of sins through Christ alone. Learn how the Good Shepherd seeks the lost, carries them home, and welcomes them to His Table—where heaven itself rejoices and joins us in the feast of His body and blood.
If you long to understand repentance, grace, and the joy of heaven more deeply, this sermon will strengthen your faith and point you to Christ’s unshakable promises.
