Hook: Have you ever lost something precious to you? How did you respond?

I. THE SHEEP
"There is something almost terrifying about the destructive self-determination of a human being. We insist we know what's best for us even though the disastrous results may be self-evident." - Philip Keller

II. THE SEARCH
"We find rest because we are found; we make it home because someone comes to get us." - James K.A. Smith

III. THE SHEPHERD
"The shepherd is the sheep's providence." - Charles Spurgeon

Take-away: Run towards sinners!
