Member Becky Everson delivers a heartfelt sermon on lostness, drawing from 1 Timothy 1 and Luke 15:1–10. She shares Debbie Thomas’s reflection that challenges the neat “once lost, now found” framework of faith. Instead, lostness is not something left behind—it is part of the Christian journey. Like the lost sheep and the lost coin, we belong to God from the beginning, even when we stray. God persistently searches for us in the wilderness and in the overlooked corners of life, rejoicing when we are found.

Becky highlights that lostness is not reserved for nonbelievers. It is also experienced by those inside the church—when prayer feels empty, when grief overwhelms, when faith wavers, or when spiritual practices no longer sustain us. Yet God’s grace meets us in those moments. God does not wait passively but seeks us out with determination and love, throwing a party when we are found. This is the true scandal and beauty of grace—that even when we do not seek God, God is still seeking us.
