Christmas Eve 2011: Lost and Found — God's Rescue Mission at Christmas

Delivered on 12/24/2011

Jesus once made an incredible statement on why he came on the first Christmas. Luke 19:10 says this of Jesus, "For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost" (NLT).

There are a number of things we lose when we stray too far from God and become lost, but there's one thing we can never lose - our value in God's eyes. In this message by Pastor Rick Warren, your members will discover that no matter how far they have wandered away from God, they can always come back into his loving arms. This Christmas, encourage your members to accept this amazing ‘no-strings-attached' gift and come home to Jesus, where they belong.
