The Lost Coin The Kingdom Key of Lost & Found R EAD | Luke 15:8-10 In the Parable of the Lost Coin, the woman has nine coins, and she is trying to find the last one. Historians have said that it was essential that she found the tenth coin because it was a part of the dowry that her fiancée gave her as a promise of marriage. Her ability to keep up with the coins was also an indication to her espoused husband of her ability to manage the house and the children. If she could not keep up with ten coins, how could she be an effective wife and mother? The Kingdom Key of Lost and Found focuses on empowerment because no one can help her find the coin. She must find it for herself. The lost coin is in her house and when she sweeps her house clean, she finds it and has a party with her friends (bridesmaids) to celebrate the discovery. No one can clean the house of our consciousness. We must do it for ourselves. Whatever we need (love

The Lost Sheep The Kingdom Key of Lost & Found R EAD | Luke 15:1-7 In the Parable of the Lost Sheep, the shepherd has one hundred sheep, and he loses one. He leaves the ninety-nine in the wilderness and goes after the one. When he finds the one, he lays it on his shoulder and brings it back to the fold. When he returns home, he calls his friends together to rejoice with him about his discovery. To leave the ninety-nine and go after the one, the shepherd had to do an evaluation. He had to decide if the one sheep was worth leaving the ninety-nine at risk. In his evaluation, he concluded that the one sheep had enough value to leave the others temporarily. The Kingdom Key of Lost and Found illustrates that in God’s estimation, each person is worthwhile and valuable as an individual. Therefore, the angels in heaven rejoice when each one of us come back to God, back to the fold, and back to our true selves.

The Lost Relationship The Kingdom Key of Lost & Found R EAD | II Corinthians 5:16-21 “For the Son of God came to seek and to save that which was lost (Luke 19:10).” We all began as ideas in the mind of God (Psalm 8:4). We are all words spoken out of the mouth of God (John 1:1,14-18). Our genesis is being one with God. When we came to earth and took on human form, we embraced the erroneous idea of separation from God which in essence changed our relationship with God. God was never separate from us, but we saw ourselves separate from God. God has always been as close as our breath (Deuteronomy 30:14). We have always been connected to God. We are connected to God right here and right now. We will always be connected to God. “Nothing can separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:35).” Our spiritual practices keep our connection with God strong. Like cell phone servi

Consequences The Kingdom Key of Few & Many R EAD | Matthew 25:14-31 “Well done my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things. I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of the l ord (Matthew 25:21).” Each of the servants received consequences for their increase or lack thereof. The servant with the two talents doubled his talents to four talents. The lord praised him for his efforts and promoted him to the next dimension of leadership. The servant with the five talents doubled his talents to ten talents. Likewise, he was celebrated for his success, and he advanced to the next level. The lord was so proud that he publicly acknowledged their work thus inspiring others to be their best. The servant with o ne talent was rebuked, called “wicked” and punished. Wickedness in the text has nothing to do with sin such as lying, stealing, or cheating. He was wicked because he was not fulfilling

Settling Accounts The Kingdom Key of Few & Many R EAD | Matthew 25:14-31 When the lord returned from his journey, he settled his accounts with all his servants. Because he expected each of them to have an increase, he settled accounts to see how much they had obtained. The servant with the five talents brought back five more talents. He doubled his talents. The servant with two talents brought back two more talents. He also doubled his talents. In the Kingdom it is not about equal amounts but about equal production. Both the one with the two talents and the one with the five talents doubled their investments. Although they were handling a different number of talents, they reproduced the same percentage of increase. Just as it is with tithing. Our tithe amount may be different but when we tithe, we have all given the same amount, 10%. The servant with the one talent did not have an increase. He hid
