Outro / Wrap Up:
Thank you for listening to today’s devotional.
Tomorrow we’re beginning a brand new series focusing simply on the presence of God. May our connection with him and ability to abide with him grow every morning as we make space for him to fill.
But if God did something significant as you engaged in these stories this week, consider taking 45 seconds or so to write a review. Sharing your story will help you gain a sense of what God’s doing in your life, and could be just what someone else needs to dive in to a connected relationship with God every day.
Have a wonderful rest of your day, and may God bless you as you seek him.

| 0:00.0 | In today's devotional, the last in our series on parables, we'll be looking at the |
| 0:10.4 | parable of the lost sheep and coin. May you discover today how precious you are in the eyes of God, |
| 0:16.6 | and may you be empowered to see yourself, your value, as he does. Welcome to the first 15 podcast. |
| 0:24.6 | If the core of Jesus' teaching on the gospel could be summed up in two stories, |
| 0:29.5 | they would be the parables of the lost sheep and the lost coin. |
| 0:33.4 | Both stories illustrate one crucially important truth. |
| 0:37.4 | God pursues us. |
| 0:39.3 | Both clearly display God's heart for us and that He will willingly and passionately come down to meet us and help us wherever we are. |
| 0:47.3 | As we look at these important parables today, open your heart and allow the reality of God's pursuit of you to transform the way you relate to him and stir up your desires to seek his face in return. Jesus says in Luke 15, 4 through |
| 1:00.6 | 7, what man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the 99 |
| 1:07.3 | in the open country and go after the one that is lost until he finds it. |
| 1:12.4 | And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. |
| 1:15.9 | And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors saying to them, |
| 1:20.1 | rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost. |
| 1:23.5 | Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over |
| 1:29.2 | 99 righteous persons who need no repentance. Then Jesus teaches in verses 8 through 10, |
| 1:36.5 | where what woman, having 10 silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and |
| 1:42.8 | sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it. |
| 1:46.4 | And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors saying, |
| 1:49.4 | rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I have lost. |
| 1:53.3 | Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents. |
