Selwyn Hughes preaches on the unique aspect of Christianity's focus on personal salvation, highlighting how Christianity is a rescue religion that proclaims the good news of God coming to save us from the power, penalty, and presence of sin. Using the analogy of a shepherd leaving the flock to find one lost sheep, the passage illustrates God's relentless pursuit of sinners to bring them back to Him. While Judaism acknowledges receiving sinners who return, it overlooks the profound truth that God actively seeks out the lost. This emphasizes the incredible love and grace of God in seeking and saving the lost.

Philpot preaches about the heavy charges brought against the false shepherds of Israel, highlighting their sins of commission and omission, including greediness, selfishness, cruelty, and violence.
