Make Heaven Crowded
November 2, 2025
Pastor David Bamberry
Jesus tells us, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.” Mark 16:15 NLT
Week 1: The Heart of Heaven
Luke 15
There’s a .03% chance your child becomes a professional athlete, an .008% chance they will become famous, but 100% certainty that they will stand before God. Their finish line isn’t fame, it’s eternity.
1. Heaven Rejoices Over One Sinner Who Repents.
“In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven’t strayed away!” Luke 15:7 NLT
● God’s metric for success isn’t crowds—it’s one heart at a time.
2. God Never Stops Pursuing the Lost.
“If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others in the wilderness and go to search for the one that is lost until he finds it?” Luke 15:4 NLT
● His love is relentless, personal, and patient.
The LORD is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. Psalm 103:8 NLT
3. Our Love for People Reflects His Heart.
We love each other because he loved us first. 1 John 4:19 NLT
● We reflect God’s heart when we go beyond convenience to reach others—friends, coworkers, classmates, or family.
When we make Heaven crowded, we’re living out God’s greatest desire—restoring His lost sons and daughters. Every act of love, every prayer, every invite counts.
This Week
● Read in the Bible Luke chapter 15.
● Make a checklist of all the people you want to see in heaven. Begin to pray for them. Invite them to Church. Ask the Lord when is a good time to talk to them.
● Take our Invite Cards located in the Lobby to use as a tool.
● Pray: “Lord, align my heart with Yours, fill me with Your love for the lost, and use me to reach those far from You.”
