Ernie focuses on Luke chapter 15, emphasizing the parables of the lost sheep, lost coin, and the prodigal son. These stories illustrate God's joy over the repentance of sinners. Ernie highlights the father's love for both sons, noting that the primary focus should be on the father's heart rather than the sons' actions. He discusses the losses experienced by humanity due to sin, emphasizing that God desires to redeem and restore what has been lost. Ernie identifies various losses Christians may face, such as losing purpose, joy, devotion, and compassion. He stresses that God's redemptive love is all-encompassing and unconditional, urging believers to embrace this love and allow it to work in their lives. The elder brother's self-righteousness serves as a warning against missing the joy of God's grace. Ultimately, Ernie encourages everyone to return to the father's house, where they can experience restoration and the fullness of God's love.
