Two sermons in one discussion guide

Hi leaders,
Our original plan was to preach the whole parable of the Lost Sheep on March 5, but Pastor Ray decided to emphasis Luke 15:1-2 and set up the whole Lost series.
Therefore, the material I wrote last week will cover March 5 and March 12.

If you want to stick with the sermon from Sunday, focus on the first two verses and talk about evangelism and outreach. A couple things to consider:
   
-Why do those who are lost feel so comfortable with Jesus?  Why do they continue to “draw near” to him while the religious elite keep distancing themselves from him?  Who do we attract?  How can we live differently to attract the lost?

-What does it mean to “receive sinners and eat with them”? What are the ways we can be in closer relationships with those who do not know Jesus?  Who are you praying for that you can invest in as we approach Easter? Will you invite them to services on Easter?

Thank you and have a great week. Let me know if you have questions or how I can pray for your group.
