What is it like to be LOST?
Is it more dangerous for someone to be lost and know they're lost, or lost and not know they're lost? Why? Actually can be more dangerous to be lost and not know it; you can be away from safety but think you're just fine.
When we're lost, often the people looking for us are more concerned than we are. We know where we are! And we don't have any idea of the danger we're in.
Today we start series on "The Lost World"
a. "lost" means they don't have a relationship with God; Jesus is not in their life
b. Not a word the church made up; "lost" is the word Jesus used
c. Lost people don't always know they're lost
If we believe that God is necessary to a person's survival...then we have a job to do! Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life...no one comes to the Father but through me."
God uses people to get his message out...because he cares very deeply about people who are lost - whether they know it or not.
Luke 15 - the Parable of the Lost Son - the Father rejoiced when the son came back.
