The One Participant Book
Reaching the Lost with the Love of Christ
Published August 2021
The book and the corresponding study explore Luke 15 where Jesus tells stories about rejoicing when lost things are found—specifically, a lost sheep, a lost coin, and a lost child. This passage teaches us that we’re dearly loved and sought after by God, and that we are called to join in Jesus’ mission to seek and to save “the one” with intentionality, perseverance, and joy.
Topics include:
Who’s “the one”?
The Sheep
The Coin
The Boys
Additional components for a four-week study include a DVD featuring Jim and Jen Cowart and a comprehensive Leader Guide.
