The Jesus Way Pt. 5: Ministry By Louie Marsh, 8-10-2025   If I'm going to follow the Jesus Way, I need to understand how He ministered to everyone.     1) Jesus deeply LOVED people and they knew it.   “7And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground. 9But when they heard it, they went away one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. 10Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” 11She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.”” (John 8:7–11, ESV)   “13Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked the people, 14but Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” 15And he laid his hands on them and went away.” (Matthew 19:13–15, ESV)   2) Jesus loved EVERYONE – even the Samaritans. “33But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. 34He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.' 36Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?” 37He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” And Jesus said to him, “You go, and do likewise.”” (Luke 10:33–37, ESV)   “39Many Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony, “He told me all that I ever did.” 40So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days. 41And many more believed because of his word. 42They said to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is indeed the Savior of the world.” 43After the two days he departed for Galilee.” (John 4:39–43, ESV)   3) Jesus loved the sick & STIGMATIZED. “43And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, and though she had spent all her living on physicians, she could not be healed by anyone. 44She came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment, and immediately her discharge of blood ceased. 45And Jesus said, “Who was it that touched me?” When all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the crowds surround you and are pressing in on you!” 46But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, for I perceive that power has gone out from me.” 47And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed. 48And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.”” (Luke 8:43–48, ESV)   4) To Jesus ministry was just a part of His life - LIFESTYLE MINISTRY.   “5And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for I must stay at your house today.” 6So he hurried and came down and received him joyfully. 7And when they saw it, they all grumbled, “He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.” 8And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it fourfold.” 9And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham. 10For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”” (Luke 19:5–10, ESV)   He dealt with:  1. lepers (Lk 5:12-16) 2. paralytics (Lk 5:17-26) 3. a centurion (Lk 7:1-10) 4. widows (Lk 7:11-17) 5. sinful women (Lk 7:36-50) 6. mothers (Lk 8:19-21) 7. children (Lk 8:40-56) 8. large crowds (Lk 9:10-17) 9.  the disciples (Lk 9:18-21) 10. angry people (Lk 9:51-56) 11. Godly women (Lk 10:38-42) 12. rejected people like Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-9) 13. religious hypocrites (Lk 20:34-38) 14. traitors (Lk 22:47-49) 15. politicians (Lk 23:1-7) 16. a dying criminal (Lk 23:43)  17. His followers (Lk 24:46-49)   5) Jesus was always taking the role of leader and teacher to SERVE OTHERS.    “3Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God, 4rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around his waist. 5Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him. 6He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?” 7Jesus answered him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand.” 8Peter said to him, “You shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no share with me.” 9Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!”” (John 13:3–9, ESV)        

In our next Pray series message, Hilary Dalziel unpacks the line from the Lord's Prayer: “Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10). Using the story of Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1–10), she shows that the kingdom is deeply personal (Jesus sees us, loves us, and invites us into His rule) but it also brings real change as we submit every part of our lives to His lordship. The kingdom is both present and future: we experience its reality now when we put our faith in Christ (Colossians 1:13), yet we long for the day when it fully comes and every knee bows to Jesus (Philippians 2:9–11). Living in this “now and not yet” tension calls for persevering prayer, like Abraham who trusted God's promise against all odds (Romans 4:19–21), and for proclaiming and demonstrating the kingdom in our families, workplaces, communities, and to the ends of the earth.

VBS Service Day Sermon:Zacchaeus, Luke 19:1-9, Pastor Steve

Luke: The Meals | Zacchaeus | Luke 19:1-10 Sermon from June 29, 2025 – Deron Spoo, Pastor Part 4 of 5 of the series Luke: The Meals

In this episode, we listen in on a DMM (Disciple-Making Movement) training session in North Queensland with Steve and Mel Behrens. They share their journey into DMM and what drives them: a deep heart for the lost. The Behrens are practitioners and catalysts in Far North Queensland. They've seen fruit among Indigenous communities, everyday Aussies in various contexts, and returned soldiers. Enjoy listening as Steve and Mel share during their recent Cairns training.  A Lost Dog Steve shares how he was raised in the Western Province of PNG, later moving to Australia where he met and married Mel—who also carried a strong passion for the lost. They began as youth leaders and saw some fruit, but they were discontent when comparing it to what they read in the Book of Acts. Then something shifted.Mel tells a story about searching for their lost dog in a crocodile-breeding mangrove area. In that moment, God spoke to them:“You are willing to lay your lives down to find this lost dog but what about my lost children?”That moment marked a turning point. The call of God was clear: to seek the lost. But they began asking, “What's the best way to do this?”They soon realised that the mission wasn't just about making disciples, but making disciple-makers. This led them to movements. They began listening to what God was already doing and found themselves needing to let go of preconceived ideas and ‘baggage' in order to embrace DMM.Their vision now is to see movements birthed—lost people coming into the Kingdom across North Queensland, into PNG, and beyond to the nations. Passion Ignites Passion Steve explains that God's passion ignites passion in us. Often as Christians, we feel passionate but don't know what to do with it—and we settle. But our hearts must remain fertile. He challenges us with a reflection from the Parable of the Sower (Matthew 28:16-20):“Where is our heart at? Is it in good soil? Are we reproducing? We need to make sure the soil of our heart remains fertile…How do we make the soil [of our hearts] good again? We go to Jesus and surround ourselves with likeminded people. As a disciple-maker, this is our core.” (Steve) When Passion and Strategy Come Together Addition vs. Multiplication Mel shares the paradigm shift she and Steve underwent: moving from addition to multiplication of disciples. They illustrate this through a simple ‘build-up tiggy' tag game.“There are people in our lives that even the best evangelists or preachers can't reach. There are people in our networks who only we can ‘tag'.” (Mel)Mel explains how starting with 30 people each reaching 30 more over 30 years results in 900 people—addition. But beginning with just two people who each multiply yearly over 30 years could reach over 1 billion—multiplication.“So wherever you find yourself, maybe in a small country town or a big city, and you are lonely asking the question ‘where do I start?'… just grab someone else. Multiplication can start with two people.” (Mel) Current Reality in North Queensland In North Queensland, for every church that is planted, five are closing down. Steve and Mel highlight the urgency of recognising the spiritual climate. Yet Jesus didn't just add—he multiplied. He modelled this for his disciples and commissioned them in Matthew 28:16–20. Once again they draw attention to the final soil in the Parable of the Sower—the one that multiplies. That's the soil Jesus is calling us to be today. People of peace Luke 10:6 shows how Jesus sent out his disciples to find ‘people of peace'. These people are the ones we are called to pour into. They are spiritually open, hungry, and ready to share. They often become gateways to entire communities.Biblical examples of people of peace include:• The Woman at the Well (John 4:1–42)• The Demoniac (Mark 5:1–20)• The Philippian Jailer (Acts 16:16–36)• Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1–10)• Cornelius (Acts 10)• Lydia (Acts 16:11–15, 40)• Levi (Luke 5:27–32)• Nathanael (John 1:45–51)• Man w...

When you're out on a limb, you can trust God with the impossible.

Repentance isn't remorse, regret, or even saying sorry — it's a change of your will. In this message, Pastor Alvin teaches that for anything truly good to happen in your life, repentance is not just important — it's necessary. Learn how repentance is the first step in accepting the gospel, why your will (not your spirit) is where real change begins, and how to protect your spiritual momentum through human accountability. "You can be sorry and not done — repentance happens when you decide you're done with your own way."

Jesus and Zacchaeus : Luke 19:1-10 : Joel Settecase : 03-30-25 by Park Community Church

Description: Pastor Alex is sharing a powerful sermon on how God sees us. No matter where you are or what you're facing, He knows your struggles, your pain, and your deepest desires. Just like He saw Hagar (Genesis 16:13), Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10), and the woman bent over for 18 years (Luke 13:10-17), He sees you with love, compassion, and mercy—ready to heal, restore, and set you free. Will you trust Him today? Scripture References: Genesis 16:13 Luke 19:1-10 Luke 13:10-17 Psalm 139:1-3 John 5:1-9 Luke 15:18-24 Psalm 33:13-14 John 1:43-51 Luke 12:6-7 Psalm 56:8   Welcome to Oceans Unite - a place for God's presence.

Sunday, 8th December 2024 Luke 19:1-10 Close encounters... Zacchaeus Chris Palmer preaching

As Jesus enters Jericho, he is met by two men: a blind beggar and Zacchaeus, the tax collector. Amongst the pressing crowd, neither was likely to get Jesus' attention, yet Jesus took time to stop for both. We look at these critical stories and how they anticipate Jesus' arrival as king to the city of Jerusalem.  

There are 14 billion trees in the State of Michigan, most of them quite ordinary by most standards. Yet the state hosts a “Big Tree Hunt,” an annual contest to identify those trees that are oldest and biggest, trees that can be honored as a living landmark. The contest elevates ordinary trees to another level: inside any forest could be an award-winner, just waiting to be noticed. Unlike most people, God always notices the ordinary. He cares about the “what” and “whom” that others overlook. God sent a common man named Amos to Israel during the reign of King Jeroboam. Amos exhorted his people to turn from evil and seek justice but was ostracized and told to be quiet. “Get out, you seer!” they said with scorn. “Go back to the land of Judah . . . and do your prophesying there” (Amos 7:12). Amos responded, “I was neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet, but I was a shepherd, and I also took care of sycamore-fig trees. But the Lord took me from tending the flock and said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel’ ” (vv. 14-15). God knew and noticed Amos when he was just a common shepherd, tending to flocks and trees. Hundreds of years later, Jesus noticed and called out the ordinary Nathanael (John 1:48) and Zacchaeus (Luke 19:5) near their trees. No matter how obscure we feel, He sees us, loves us, and uses us for His purposes.

Zacchaeus was despised by his community, yet Jesus sought him out and initiated relationship. This visible act of grace precedes any visible change in Zacchaeus' behavior, highlighting a crucial aspect of the Gospel: God's acceptance is not a reward for our righteousness, but the very power that enables our transformation.

Our faith did not start with ourselves; It began with the Holy Spirit at work in our hearts drawing us to Himself. When we bring our weakness to Jesus He turns it into a strength. It's at the cross we see how broken and sinful we really are; and It's at the cross we see Jesus as the lamb of God and our sacrifice!

Encountering Zacchaeus - Luke 19:1-10 Pastor Jamie Strickland

As Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, He sees a man up a tree. Jesus invites Himself to the home of Zacchaeus and brings him salvation. Sermon from Pastor Jim Stultz on October 1, 2023

Zacchaeus seeks, sees, and receives Jesus and a remarkable transformation follows. But behind all of this we find the gracious reality that when lost people start seeking Jesus, Jesus has already been seeking them.

Wednesday Series

Pastor Michael continues our "Retold" series with the story of Zacchaeus in Luke 19.

Recently, Jens was reading Luke's Gospel. He happened upon a familiar story about a tax collector named Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10). However, something stood out this time: who is the short person in the story, Jesus or Zacchaeus? It actually is not very clear. Thus, an episode topic was born.    Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast Instagram: @doxologypodcast

From the sermon series: Pictures of Salvation. Sermon text: Luke 18:35-19:10; Preached by Senior Pastor Nathan Bayly

When Jesus invites himself over for dinner with Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10), he is declaring to Zacchaeus, and Zacchaeus' hometown community, that this despised tax collector is not despised by him. Jesus came to seek out and to save sinners - that is, all of us - in great and unending love. Zacchaeus responds to the invitation of Jesus with joy and generosity.

Core Values:  MissionMark 2:1-12a) When we think of mission, we think of the all-encompassing mission of God to redeem mankind and bring healing to the land. It is reflected in the Lord's Prayer when we ask, “Thy Kingdom come, thy (King) will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”b) Missions is ministry which fulfills the Great Commission by proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ cross-culturally through evangelism, discipleship, church planting, and church leadership development, giving priority to the least reached. Missions is a part of the Church's total mission. c) Mission describes who the Church is and what the Church does to advance Christ's kingdom for his glory. Missions describes the Church's activity to advance Christ's kingdom across language, cultural, socio-economic, ethnic and spiritual boundaries.Five components of living on mission…1. Exposure, v. 1Biblical examples of exposure to Jesus…a) Zacchaeus- Luke 19b) sinful woman- Luke 7c) road to Emmaus- Luke 242. Truth, v. 2“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord God, when I will send a famine on the land- not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord. They shall wander from sea to sea, and from north to east; they shall run to and fro, to seek the word of the Lord but they shall not find it. In that day the lovely virgins and the young men shall faint for thirst.”                          -Amos 8:11-133. Belief, v. 3-44. Faith, v. 5Intersectionality the interconnected nature of social categorizations such as race, class, and gender as they apply to a given individual or group, regarded as creating overlapping and interdependent systems of discrimination or disadvantage. “When he had entered Capernaum, a centurion came forward to him, appealing to him, “Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, suffering terribly.” And he said to him, “I will come and heal him.” But the centurion replied, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I too am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,' and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,' and he comes, and to my servant, ‘Do this,' and he does it.” When Jesus heard this, he marveled and said to those who followed him, “Truly, I tell you, with no one in Israel have I found such faith. I tell you, many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” And to the centurion Jesus said, “Go; let it be done for you as you have believed.” And the servant was healed at that very moment.                            -Matthew 8:5-135. Authority, v. 6-12Mental worship…Does your life make sense apart from what you believe about Jesus? How often do you talk intentionally about spiritual things with people who are not believers?Is there anything that you question in your heart but don't put words to?Do you ever miss what God is really saying or doing? How long after the fact before you realize it?  Are you more moved by people's faith or need?

This week, we launch a new sermon series called "Still One Small Thing" that revisits our 2022 theme. Following the example of Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10), how are we being challenged to be present and show up in spaces and places, offering ourselves to the causes of justice and love?
