Lost sheep are searched out and found, And he spake this parable unto them, saying, What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? Luke 15:1-7
And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

Prayer Warrior
Beware of the man who has nothing to lose. In Luke 9:24 Jesus said, “he who loses his life for my sake shall save it.” What the church needs today is men of the spirit who are mighty in prayer. O Lord, if there is anything I have left undone, let me be perfect in prayer.
Dependence
Special Guest Speaker Ryan Van Deusen. If we come to Christianity just so we can have a better life, then it just makes us god. Is the only reason we come to Christianity just for the sake of ourselves? Upon what does our faith depend? II Corinthians 3 5 Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God, (ESV)
The Greatest Weapon
God doesn’t expect us to just receive his truth and revelation…he expects us to obey it. The word of God is to be lived “in shoe leather.” However, God does not ask for “blind obedience.” We must examine our heart for the motive behind the action. According to Ephesians 6, we are in the midst of a spiritual battle. What is the greatest weapon in the battle? Love Wins.
