Sermon 5 - DR (Tuesday Night) Love of God PDF
• This series has been designed to strengthen 💪 our relationship with God
• & to be more intentional in knowing him because this is it.
Knowing God is Everything/Conocer a Dios Lo es Todo
Juan 17:3
“Y esta es la vida eterna: que te conozcan a ti, el único Dios verdadero, y a Jesucristo,
a quien has enviado.”
b. All knowing: Knows the beginning from the end- Unpredictable, unspeakable
2. God has revealed His character so that you may know Him
• The God of the Bible 📖 is real & personal. It means, we can make Him happy 😄 or make
Him sad 😥
• We closed last night with the desire of giving Him the very best of all we have:
• The heart ♥
• [Emphasize here the importance of knowing Him in the context of John/Juan 17:3]
Conocer a Dios Lo es Todo
4. God pursues a continuing love 💗 relationship with you that is real & personal
• Tonight we’ll study this reality based on a profound & significant chapter
• Luke/Lucas 15 [quince]
o [On Sunday night, please arrange three (3) young people from church to read the
whole chapter—I told pastor Mario]
o [The first youth should read Luke 15:1-7] (The parable of the lost sheep 🐑 )
1 Se acercaban a Jesús todos los cobradores de impuestos y pecadores para oírle, 2 y los fariseos
y los escribas murmuraban, diciendo: Éste recibe a los pecadores, y come con ellos. 3 Entonces
él les refirió esta parábola, diciendo:
4 ¿Qué hombre de vosotros, teniendo cien ovejas, si pierde una de ellas, no deja las noventa y
nueve en el desierto, y va tras la que se perdió, hasta encontrarla?
5 Y cuando la encuentra, la pone sobre sus hombros gozoso;
6 y al llegar a casa, reúne a sus amigos y vecinos, diciéndoles: Gozaos conmigo, porque he
encontrado mi oveja que se había perdido.
7 Os digo que así habrá más gozo en el cielo por un pecador que se arrepiente, que por noventa y
nueve justos que no necesitan de arrepentimiento.
o [The second youth is reading from Luke 15:8-10] (The parable of the lost coin 🪙 )
8 “Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house,
and search carefully until she finds it? 9 And when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbors
together, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I lost!’ 10 Likewise, I say to you,
there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
8 ¿O qué mujer que tiene diez dracmas, si pierde una dracma, no enciende una lámpara, y barre
la casa, y busca con diligencia hasta encontrarla? 9 Y cuando la encuentra, reúne a sus amigas y
vecinas, diciendo: Gozaos conmigo, porque he encontrado la dracma que había perdido. 10 Así
os digo que hay gozo delante de los ángeles de Dios por un pecador que se arrepiente.
o The third youth will read from Luke 15:11-32 (The parable of the lost son) read next
night
o In regards to the tax collectors: The Jews were ritually defiled by contact with
gentiles & despised them due to their collaboration with the Romans.
o Sinners ☠ represent the immoral who deliberately & consistently violated the
law.
▪ this excluded them from the religious community
o There is a progression
o The shepherd, the woman, & the father take the initiative —they are active.
• 6 key actions:
1. Having or possessing,
2. losing,
3. seeking,
4. finding,
5. rejoicing,
6. calling/inviting
o God’s love 💗 & concern for the lost (including the outcast & the marginalized)
▪ is great!
o Do you see The Value a lost soul has before God (even the least deserving)?
• In this parable, as well as in the other two (2) of this chapter, is found a theme:
Communal joy 🤩
• The sheep 🐑 represent….who? … [ASK] The 1st group: sinners ☠ & tax collectors
▪ You acknowledge that your days in the flock with the Shepherds were
happy days,
• but you think you cannot come back
▪ If that’s your case, the Shepherd sent me here tonight to tell you—-
He misses you!
▪ I came all the way from Woodbury, TN, USA to tell you—-
God loves you with an everlasting love 💗
8 ¿O qué mujer que tiene diez dracmas, si pierde una dracma, no enciende una lámpara, y barre
la casa, y busca con diligencia hasta encontrarla? 9 Y cuando la encuentra, reúne a sus amigas y
vecinas, diciendo: Gozaos conmigo, porque he encontrado la dracma que había perdido. 10 Así
os digo que hay gozo delante de los ángeles de Dios por un pecador que se arrepiente.
o In the gospel of Luke, Jesus is the Savior for the whole world 🌎
• The drachma was a Greek silver coin 🪙 approximately equal to the Roman denarius
• The lost coin primarily represents… [who is the audience?] [ASK] The Pharisees
o The search for the lost coin 🪙 is certainly given more detail than the search for the lost
sheep 🐑
o If you feel that you’ve been looking for knowledge & power 💪 instead of Jesus,
▪ I invite you today to stand up
o If you acknowledge that you have been lost inside the house,
▪ today is the day of salvation for you
o I want you to come here where I am because I want to have a special prayer for
you
• Invite the pastor or head elder (talk to him ahead of time) to have a special prayer for the
ex-Adventists (sheep) & for the church members (coin)
