From the Pastor’s Desk

September 18, 2025

“For the Son of Man has come to seek and save that which was lost.”

When Jesus went to stay with Zacchaeus, he surprised most if not all the people of Jericho. As the chief

tax collector, he was hated by the Jewish residents and seen as a traitor to his own people. And yet,

Jesus wasn’t willing to give up on him. There have been people that I have been ready to give up on

because they were rude or mean or some other reason, but that is not the way of Jesus and it shouldn’t

be our way either. Who is it in our life that we may see like a Zacchaeus? God help us to offer them that

path to redemption through Your love pouring through us!

Gratefully His,

Pastor Chris Yount
