Who Is Your One? Joining Jesus on His Search-and-Rescue Mission

This sermon challenges believers to reclaim Jesus’ heart for lost people and to live out the Great Commission as a daily assignment, not a distant ideal. Drawing from Matthew 28, 2 Corinthians 5, and Luke 15’s parable of the lost sheep, Pastor Melissa Pratt reminds the church that we are Christ’s ambassadors, entrusted with the “ministry of reconciliation.” God chose the local church as His primary plan to reach the world, and He calls every believer—doubts, flaws, and all—to go after “the one” who is still far from Him. Through stories of personal evangelism, practical challenges to pray for and pursue unsaved friends, and a strong call to intentional witness, this message invites listeners to move from being part of the ninety-nine to joining the Shepherd in seeking and celebrating every soul that comes home.
