What if you’re within arm’s reach of Jesus—and still miss who He is? In Luke 19, Jesus stops for the least likely person in Jericho: Zacchaeus, the wealthy chief tax collector everyone loves to hate. While the “religious crowd” mutters and writes him off, Jesus calls Zacchaeus by name, invites Himself to his table, and sparks a repentance that proves real change isn’t remorse—it’s a new way of life. This sermon challenges who you assume is (or isn’t) open to God, confronts the danger of being close to Jesus without surrendering to Him, and asks the defining question: when Jesus enters the “home” of your life, will He be welcomed as Lord—or treated like an intruder?

Asking for a Friend - Week 2
What if the resistance you feel from people around you isn’t something you can argue through—but something you have to pray through? In Colossians 4, Paul writes from prison and calls the church to two simple, confronting practices: devote yourself to persistent prayer for open doors, and live “seasoned with salt” so your life creates thirst for the goodness of God. This message challenges the ways we settle for comfort, distraction, or private faith—and asks whether our prayers (and our lives) actually reflect what we say we believe about the gospel’s eternal weight.

Asking for a Friend - Week 1
How do you obey the Great Commission without turning faith into a megaphone moment—or staying so “relational” you never actually speak? In this kickoff to Asking For a Friend, the message walks through Acts 26 as Paul stands before King Agrippa—one of the last people you’d assume would ever be interested in Jesus—and shows a simple, practical path for reaching your “one life”: assume they’re intrigued, build bridges instead of throwing rocks, and cross those bridges slowly. Along the way, it confronts the stereotype that Christians are known more for what they’re against, calls you to keep swinging even after you “strike out,” and ends with a clear invitation to testify, surrender, and respond to King Jesus through prayer and baptism.
