0:00.0	Pray the Word with David Platt is a resource from radical.net.
0:05.0	Luke chapter 15, verse 10. Just so I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner
0:15.5	who repents. I love this chapter in the Bible.
0:21.5	Three stories, and the common theme in all of them is clear.
0:26.1	Like every story is focused on the one.
0:29.1	The first is one sheep out of 100.

1:54.0	That's what causes heaven, angels in heaven, to rejoice.
1:59.7	Just let this soak into your own life and then think about heaven to rejoice.
2:06.2	Just let this soak into your own life and then think about the lives of people around you.
