lost & found: LOST COIN
JOHN ELLIOTT

Proximity vs. Intimacy: How do you think it’s possible for someone to be actively involved in church activities yet still be spiritually lost? What are some signs that someone might be experiencing this hidden lostness?

God’s Pursuit: The woman in the parable searched diligently for her lost coin. How does this parable help us understand God’s desire to seek out and restore those who may be close in proximity but distant in heart? How have you experienced God’s pursuit in your life?

Self-Reflection: Have you ever found yourself “lost in the house,” feeling distant from God despite being involved in church? What steps did you take, or can you take, to restore that intimacy with God?

Helping Others: How can we, as a church community, better identify and support those who may be physically present but spiritually lost? What practical actions can we take to help them reconnect with God and experience true restoration?
