identity. - Week Two

In this powerful message, we explore the transformative story of Zacchaeus from Luke 19. This narrative reminds us that our identity is not defined by our past or by society's labels, but by God's love and acceptance. Just as Zacchaeus, a despised tax collector, sought Jesus and found redemption, we too can experience a profound change in our lives when we earnestly seek God. The story beautifully illustrates that no one is beyond the reach of God's grace, and that true transformation begins with a change of heart. As we reflect on Zacchaeus' encounter with Jesus, we're challenged to consider how we're positioning ourselves to experience God's presence in our own lives. Are we, like Zacchaeus, willing to go to extraordinary lengths to see Jesus? This message encourages us to embrace our identity as children of God, reminding us that in Christ, we are made new. It calls us to live out our faith actively, knowing God intimately, loving others unconditionally, and serving our community with purpose.
