Luke 15

I've been thinking a lot about Luke 15 and the parables there -- the lost coin, sheep and son(s). I'm thinking another message series based on Jesus' stories, all centering on His reason for telling them -- how the religious folks reacted to the company He kept.

¹ Tax collectors and other notorious sinners often came to listen to Jesus teach. ² This made the Pharisees and teachers of religious law complain that he was associating with such sinful people—even eating with them! (Luke 15:1, 2)
