SPIRITUALITY AND FAITH
grasp. In Luke 15:1-32 Jesus told a series of stories about a Lost Sheep, a Lost Coin, and a Lost Son...and each of these conclude with "all heaven rejoicing when sinners repent and return to God!"
III. WITH UNFINISHED BUSINESS, WE MUST FINISH WELL
B. With Unfinished Business, we must get our families Saved, Delivered and Filled With Holy Spirit Power under Jesus' Blood Protection! In a sexually crazed world, teens are getting pregnant before marriage, people are getting addicted to porn and alcohol, and many "church-going" young people fall away when they are away from home because they are "riding on their parents spiritual coat-tails" and have never really "chosen" Jesus on their own. But Joshua 24:15 call to men and homes today, is "choose you this day who you will serve". Get in church Sunday and midweek. II Peter 1:10 "Be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you: for as long as you practice these things, you will never stumble, for in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be abundantly supplied to you.” Grow in God, make serving God and His Church known to all men.

Not only are your very hairs all numbered, but Matt. 10:32 adds,, "Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven.." Everyone is valuable and needs a relationship with the Life Giver! In Jesus' earthly ministry., He showed the great value of everyone! Each and every man, woman or children (even those others tried to push away), Jesus gave attention to and treated them as precious souls, heaven loved. The fact that Jesus healed the elderly and the infirmed show people's value can't be lost or diminished by age, appearance, ability, disease or mental event! God's Word says He is with us in every stage of life on earth. We must use Jesus' teachings to help free unbelievers from hell, and condemned women and innocent babies from Satan's
