The document summarizes a sermon about Luke 15, focusing on Jesus welcoming sinners. It compares Jesus' attitude towards sinners with the Pharisees' judgment. It uses the parables of the lost sheep, coin and prodigal son to illustrate God's joy over one sinner's repentance. The prodigal son's story highlights God's forgiveness despite a son's wrongdoings. The sermon urges people to have compassion for sinners like Jesus rather than judge them.
God will certainly hear your prayers and answer them. He will direct you in what actions to take. To experience God's miracles, don't limit your prayers within old frameworks. Pay attention to the voice or instructions from God and take brave action. Everything is possible for those who believe.
