Gospel Reading for this sermon: Gospel Reading Luke 15:1-10
Join Pastor Ron McDougall at Mount Pleasant Methodist Church for a heartfelt sermon, "What God Really Thinks." Drawing from Luke 15's parables of the lost sheep, lost coin, and lost son, this message reveals God's relentless pursuit of the lost—like a shepherd leaving the 99 or a woman searching for a single coin. Through humorous tales of losing keys, phones, and hairbrushes, and a deeply personal story of the panic and joy of finding his young son Rob stuck in a woodpile, Pastor Ron illustrates God's overwhelming joy in redeeming sinners. In a world of grumbling Pharisees, we're challenged to embrace grace, welcome the "tax collectors and sinners" without judgment, and actively participate in God's search for souls. Discover how the church can be a place of radical acceptance, celebrating every "found" life with heaven's party!
