Taking the Sermon Home
Stories to Tell; Gifts to Share: Cheerful Sacrifice
Scriptural Reference: Luke 19:1-10
Today we complete our sermon series as we read about Zacchaeus, the chief tax collector, and his encounter with Jesus.
· The business practices of a tax collector such as Zacchaeus were known to be suspect. In other words, he was the type of person Jesus would likely have been critical of, and yet, Jesus seeks out Zacchaeus’ hospitality and is warmly received. What does this say about Zacchaeus? About Jesus?
· What happens when Zacchaeus is touched by the power of Jesus’ spirit?
· What does it mean in your life to be transformed by grace?
· In what ways does the gospel make a difference in your life, and inform the choices you make about your giving?
