Most people know Jesus welcomes sinners. What they miss is why He couldn't reach the religious leaders who forgot they were sinners. This message unpacks the Jewish context behind one of the most misunderstood titles in the Gospels — and why it changes everything about how you see yourself and the people around you.Watch “Friend of Sinners” on The Restoration App, Facebook, & YouTube or here: https://tinyurl.com/yvj7f7ej#thehappyrabbi #restorationseattle #JewishinSeattle

He grew up in Barbados and moved to the United States of America as a young adult. Neville Goddard was perhaps the last century's most intellectually substantive and charismatic purveyor of the philosophy generally called New Thought. He wrote more than ten books under the solitary pen name Neville, and was a popular speaker on metaphysical themes from the late 1930s until his death in 1972.Possessed of a self-educated and uncommonly sharp intellect, Neville espoused a spiritual vision that was bold and total: Everything you see and experience, including other people, is the result of your own thoughts and emotional states. Each of us dreams into existence an infinitude of realities and outcomes. When you realize this, Neville taught, you will discover yourself to be a slumbering branch of the Creator clothed in human form, and at the helm of limitless possibilities.Neville's thought system influenced a wide range of spiritual thinkers and writers, from bestselling author Dr. Joseph Murphy to Rhonda Byrne and Wayne Dyer.He has inspired and continues to inspire millions of readers around the world.* * *SOCIALS:• Neville Goddard Newsletter• Neville Goddard Telegram• Neville Goddard Instagram• Neville Goddard Threads• Neville Goddard Twitter• Neville Goddard YouTube* * *ABOUT THE COURSEUnlock God Mode is a transformative 30-day course designed to accelerate your journey towards greater wealth, love, and success through a deeper understanding and manipulation of your reality.

Bible StudyDon't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: Romans 5:1-11, Matthew 9:9-13, Mark 2:14-22, Luke 5:27-35, I Corinthians 11:29-32, Hosea 5:15-6:6Sermon Outline Jesus, friend of sinners, calls Matthew to follow Him. Being a sinner was the only qualification Matthew had for joining the disciples The only thing that qualifies us to be followers of Jesus is that we are sinners who need grace. Why does Jesus eat with tax collectors and sinners? Jesus is the incarnation of God's mercy. Following Jesus is not heroic, it's surrender. Jesus still eats with sinners today. No one is worthy to come to the Communion Table Jesus has made us worthy by His sacrifice Consider the worth or real value of Jesus' sacrifice for us.Sermon Questions In the choice of Matthew, what is surprising or offensive to you? How does Jesus respond to the Pharisees' indirect criticism? What would have been different about your life if Jesus had come only to call "righteous" people instead of "sinners"? Are you willing to share openly about those things in your life that qualify you to follow Jesus? Does anything disqualify you from following Jesus? How would you respond if someone said you were unworthy to come to the Communion Table? When you receive communion what helps you to focus on the real worth and value of what Jesus did for you on the cross? Does anything distract you as you receive communion?Questions?Do you have a question about today's sermon? Email John Burley (JBurley@StAndrews.Church).Audio & VideoYou can listen to the sermon by using the player below or via the St Andrew's Sermon Podcast on iTunes and Spotify.
The subject of our study this weekend is a sinner turned saint! His name is Levi son of Alphaeus, but he is better known as Matthew, a name that was presumable given him by Jesus. Levi means “joined” and Matthew means “gift of Yahweh.” We could say that when Levi joined the band of Jesus' disciples, he became Matthew, a gift that God used to bless others. Jesus transformed Matthew and Matthew wanted the same for his friends. Matthew wanted his friends to come to know and follow Jesus. Do you want the same?

Over the past 2 weeks we have been looking at a couple of different ways that we can wreck our own ability to function as loving friends. As we continue in Luke 7 we see that underneath our struggle with self-righteousness is a much deeper issue in our relationship with God. When we fail to recognize our own sin and need for God's forgiveness, not only do we begin to short circuit our own love for God, but we short circuit our love for others.

Sometimes my friendships suffer for reasons I can not control. However, sometimes they suffer or even end because of something happening inside of me. It's not easy to see and it's not easy to admit, but when I struggle to see my own sin I often begin to lack care and compassion for other sinners. When I don't see my sin and begin to feel entitled to God's acceptance, I am experiencing self righteousness, not only impacting my relationship with God, but also impacting the way I relate with others, including my friends.

Jesus didn't come for the perfect. He came for the broken. In Matthew 9:9–13, Jesus calls Matthew, a hated tax collector, and everything changes. This message reminds us that no one is too far gone, no sin is too great, and Jesus is still the friend of sinners. Your past doesn't disqualify you. It's the very place Jesus meets you.

Dr. Talbert, Professor of Biblical Theology at BJU Seminary, continues our series by addressing the theme "Jesus, Friend of Sinners" in John 7.
Let's be honest – you don't have a plan for experiencing Lent. So, let's fix that! This week, Steve and the gang sit down with Elyse Fitzpatrick to explore a different perspective on the Lenten season. The post Elyse Fitzpatrick | Friend Of Sinners | Steve Brown, Etc. appeared first on Key Life.
This message continues our series through the Gospel of Mark. We explore a story where Jesus finds Himself among people of questionable reputation. Yet this scene is far more than a moment of social tension—it is deeply theological, revealing the heart of God's kingdom and what life looks like when grace welcomes sinners to the table.
