I frequently search for my keys, my wallet or my phone. In this passage is recorded three parables of lost things:
Lost Sheep:
You have 100, but one has wandered off. You go searching for the lost one. The others are fine for now. Once you’ve found the wandering sheep, you carry the [...]
10:13 So Saul died because he was unfaithful to the Lord and did not obey the Lord’s instructions; he even tried to conjure up underworld spirits. 10:14 He did not seek the Lord’s guidance, so the Lord killed him and transferred the kingdom to David son of Jesse. – 1 Chronicles 10:13-14

At the beginning of Luke 10, Jesus sent out seventy-two disciples. He didn’t send them out alone; all of them went in groups of two. In baseball terms, [...]
7:23 He had sexual relations with his wife; she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. Ephraim named him Beriah because tragedy had come to his family. 7:24 His daughter was Sheerah, who built Lower and Upper Beth Horon, as well as Uzzen Sheerah) – 1 Chronicles 7:23-24
