The Hidden Messages in the Parables of Luke 15 — Zac Poonen — April 5, 2026
Summary
The sermon explores Luke 15's parables (lost sheep, lost coin, prodigal son) to emphasize Jesus' focus on reaching sinners to repentance. The speaker advises believers to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit's leading when ministering to specific lost individuals. Furthermore, he argues that a true New Testament church should be characterized by its members needing no repentance, achieved through daily confession and genuine repentance, which involves turning away from sin and adopting Christ's attitude.

The sermon analyzes the three parables in Luke chapter 15—the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the prodigal son—to illustrate the work of God's love. The speaker interprets the lost coin parable as representing the Holy Spirit working through the church to search for lost souls, emphasizing that this requires a deep, passionate burden for the lost. He stresses that a true church must be one where members constantly judge themselves daily, allowing the lost to find a safe haven.
