ANNUAL MEETING 2026: One Day of Straying (Luke 2:41-50)

Summary

Elder Tim McCoo's sermon from the 2026 annual meeting teaches the lesson from Luke 2:41-50 about how one day of straying from Jesus can lead to many days of searching to find Him again. Using the account of Jesus being lost for three days after His parents unknowingly left Him behind, the message emphasizes the importance of staying close to Jesus and the sorrow He feels when we stray. The sermon also highlights the need for parents to know where their children are spiritually and physically, and reassures believers that Jesus is always where He is supposed to be, ready to welcome us back.
