The Parable of the Lost Sheep and the Power of the Flock


In reflecting on the parable of the lost sheep, we are reminded that God cares deeply for the one who is lost. Every person matters to Him, and He calls us to be part of a flock that leads us closer to Him rather than to the world’s values.


Jesus Himself experienced overwhelming emotions, yet He submitted fully to the Father’s will. His disciples, His own flock, were ordinary men with flaws, doubts, and struggles—just like us. But together they followed Jesus’s teaching, supported one another, and worked as a diverse yet unified group to spread the good news. Like a puzzle made of many different pieces, they fit together to create a beautiful picture of God’s Kingdom.


We too need a flock that helps guide us, keep us accountable, and encourage us to make godly decisions. A faithful flock points us toward Christ and away from destructive paths. This is why friend groups and communities matter so much—if they do not lead us toward God, they will inevitably pull us away from Him.


At our church, Lifegroups provide an opportunity to be part of such a flock—a family of believers who learn, grow, and walk with Christ together. Through these communities, we strengthen one another and fulfill our calling to reach the lost, bringing them into God’s flock.


Ultimately, our mission is clear: to meet people where they are, share the love of Christ, and lead them into the care of the Good Shepherd.
