A Penny's Worth of Joy

Listen to the November 24, 2024 worship service from Zionsville United Methodist Church in Zionsville, IN.

Luke 15:1-10

This week, we explore the Parable of the Lost Coin, where Jesus reveals God’s relentless pursuit of the lost and His extravagant joy when they are found. Like a woman searching tirelessly for a single coin, God seeks those overlooked, forgotten, or marginalized, restoring their value and dignity. Jesus challenges us to embrace His mission—welcoming sinners, befriending the unchurched, and affirming the worth of all people. Will we join God’s celebration of mercy and grace, or will we cling to merit and entitlement? The story invites us to respond to God’s generosity with gratitude, generosity, and the joy of living in God’s grace.
