1. It's About God Recovering What Was Lost! Luke 15:1-10

2. It's About You Making Your Way Back From Lostness, Failure, A Life of Sin!

Luke 15:12-32 – The Return of the Wanderer

3. It's About You Being Brought Back From the Dead!

John 11:35 - 46 – The Recovery of Lazarus!

Ephesian 2:1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, 2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience.

We all lived this Way!

4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ ( by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

We Were Saved By His Grace!

10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.

What's dead in your life? Behind the Stone! Speak to the Grave! Come out, Come to life! And Believe!

4. It's About Recovering from the Snares of the Enemy!

2 Timothy 2:24 And the servant of the Lord must not be quarrelsome; but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient when wronged, 25 with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth, 26 and they may come to their senses and that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will.

Jeremiah 33:1-10

  • To Get or obtain again, To regain – Like the lost coin, sheep!
  • To Make Your Way Back – Like the Prodigal
  • To Restore from sickness, faintness - To be Revived From Death – Like Lazarus.
