Luke 15: 1-7 The Parable of the Lost Sheep 15 Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to him. 2 And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, “This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
3 So he told them this parable: 4 “Which one of you, having a hundred sheep and losing one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that is lost until he finds it? 5 When he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders and rejoices. 6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’ 7 Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance
Crafting Your Rule of Life In our current sermon series called "The Rule", Pastor Rob is inviting us to craft a "Rule of Life". This ancient Christian practice can be life giving to your daily following of Jesus. This last Sunday, Pastor Rob gave us the following homework:
Start with five blank pages in your journal or on a legal pad. Atop each page write "Roles", "Gifts", "Desires", "Values", "Purpose". The definitions for each of these headings is given below.
After quiet time and prayer, begin brainstorming in each of these areas of your life. Come back to these five pages and the brainstorming exercise several times throughout the week. Bring this homework to this Sunday's sermon for our next steps in "Crafting Your Rule of Life".
Roles: On this page brainstorm all the different roles you have in your life. For me…I’m a son; brother, I’m a father; I’m a husband; I’m a pastor; I’m a friend; … write any role down you can think of.
Gifts: On this page, write your God given gifts. Think broadly and ask good friends to give their feedback on what they see in you as gifts.
Desires: These are your longings, your deep desires, the things "that make your heart sing"; things that bring you joy. Some may be obvious…others less so.
Vision/Values: The values you hold most dear. The things I want people to say about you at your funeral. Author David Brooks calls these "Eulogy Virtues". For example: Faithful, encourager, team player...
Mission/Purpose: Count all the things you want to do in your life in terms of calling and purpose…all of them. Again, think small and think big! For example: Plant a garden, write a book, or serve the homeless.
