This Sunday, we’re diving into an essential Atmosphere Matters principle: Lead with Lament, Long Out Loud. I can’t wait to unpack this with you. This gospel principle wasn’t something I was taught growing up in the church—but I came to understand its deep significance after experiencing tragedy close to home. Join us as we explore what it means to embrace lament and the freedom it brings. Don’t miss it!
As followers of Christ, we’re called to leave shallow talk behind and build conversations of real depth. Jesus shows us that our words matter, always using them to uplift, challenge, and heal. When we’re with others, do we seek meaningful exchange? Are we genuinely curious about their story, their pain, their dreams? Cocktail conversation is easy; true connection takes intention. Imagine the impact if we each chose substance over small talk, prioritizing the heart of the person right in front of us. How might God use your words today to make someone feel truly seen, valued, and loved?
Jesus loudly proclaims his care for each individual when he tells us that as our Great Shepherd he would leave the ninety-nine sheep to go after the one. Since we all have this same Shepherd, how as his followers should we mimic this same concern for the individual in our midst? Do you assign the same value that God does to each individual who crosses your path? Jesus reminds us that it is the individual who suffers, who is cold, who is lonely, who is sick, and who is worthy of our kindness. When each of us engages each one, the many will be seen, comforted, cared for, and invited into the loving family of God. Who is the “one” God is opening your eyes to today? Time to engage.
How does the story of Genesis 3 and Zacchaeus in Luke 19:1-10 tell us about this principle that is both anti-coercsiveness but also anti-passivity?

In today's sermon, we explored the profound story of Zacchaeus and his encounter with Jesus, as recounted in Luke 19. Zacchaeus, a wealthy chief tax collector, was despised by his community for his collaboration with the Roman authorities and his fraudulent practices. Despite his social status and wealth, Zacchaeus experienced a deep sense of spiritual emptiness and sought to see who Jesus was. His curiosity and determination led him to climb a sycamore tree, as his short stature prevented him from seeing over the crowd. Jesus, aware of Zacchaeus's presence, called him by name and invited himself to stay at Zacchaeus's house. This divine appointment was met with grumbling from the crowd, who could not understand why Jesus would associate with a notorious sinner. However, Jesus's mission was clear: He came to seek and save the lost, demonstrating that salvation is available to the worst of sinners. Zacchaeus's response to Jesus's invitation was immediate and joyful. He welcomed Jesus into his home and, in a moment of transformation, pledged to give half of his possessions to the poor and to restore fourfold to anyone he had defrauded. This act of repentance and restitution was evidence of the genuine change that had occurred within Zacchaeus's heart—a change that only the power of the Gospel can bring about. The story of Zacchaeus teaches us that encountering Jesus leads to a transformation that affects every aspect of our lives, including our moral, social, and financial behaviors. True faith in Jesus results in a love for God and others, a love that is a hallmark of genuine Christianity. As we reflect on Zacchaeus's story, we are reminded of the importance of humility, the joy of salvation, and the transformative power of Christ's grace. Big Idea Jesus compassionately pursues sinners and powerfully rescues them. His salvation is accompanied by a transformation in the recipients of it Key Takeaways: Zacchaeus's story illustrates that no one is beyond the reach of Jesus's saving grace. His willingness to humble himself and seek Jesus, despite societal barriers, demonstrates that the desire to know God is often a sign of God drawing us to Himself. As we share the Gospel, we can be confident that God is at work in people's hearts, preparing them for an encounter with Him. - Jesus's interaction with Zacchaeus shows that He is not deterred by our past or our reputation. He sees beyond our failings and offers us a chance for redemption and a new beginning. This should encourage us to extend the same grace to others, knowing that Jesus's love is transformative and can change even the hardest of hearts. - The transformation in Zacchaeus's life was immediate and tangible. His commitment to justice and generosity was a direct result of his encounter with Jesus. This teaches us that an authentic encounter with Christ will inevitably lead to a change in our beliefs, values, and actions, particularly in how we handle our resources and treat others. - The joy and celebration that followed Zacchaeus's conversion remind us that heaven rejoices over one sinner who repents. As followers of Christ, we should share in this joy and celebrate the work of God in the lives of new believers, rather than being critical or judgmental. - Lastly, Zacchaeus's story is a call to personal reflection on the authenticity of our faith. Are we experiencing the ongoing transformation that comes from a genuine relationship with Jesus? Our love for God and others is a clear indicator of our spiritual health and the reality of our faith.

And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” Luke 19:9-10 ESV
Every single one of us wants to be noticed, wants to be seen. It's why babies become distressed when a mother's gaze is turned away toward a smartphone or something else. And, despite all the growth that happens in us (from toddlerhood to adulthood), we still want to be noticed and seen. Here's the good news: Jesusa notices people. Jesus sees them. And Jesus wants to use us so that others can feel "seen" by their Heavenly Father.
In the first message of the "Changed" Series, Pastor Derek Holmes looks at how when Jesus touches your heart, it is never the same. One of the best examples of a changed heart is Zacchaeus the Tax Collector.
What caused Zacchaeus to climb a tree to see Jesus?

Curious? That is perhaps our first reaction when Jesus calls a person to Himself, as we will see this Sunday in a famous scene from Luke 19:1-10. People are still thinking and singing about this unusual encounter for excellent reasons!
