Hey welcome to the church home podcast. My name is Judah and it is with great

excitement that I get to reintroduce to you a collection of sermons and

messages we did 10 years ago entitled Jesus is and we endeavored to finish that

sentence to fill in that blank and the journey began and it really became my

life passion and life mission. It became a book and a resource that you can still

pick up. Also you can find more of these talks on our YouTube channel and if

there's any way we can serve you please look us up on pasture chat and I hope

that you enjoy these messages. Luke chapter 19 read the story of Zacchaeus. I don't

get quiet on me okay. Quite church is a dead church and we are not dead. So just

just get involved. Are the sea ox not making some great acquisitions or is that

just me? It just feels good man. You can just close in prayer right there. It's so

good. Luke 19 and verse 1 says then Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.

Now behold there was a man named Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector and

he was rich. He sought to see who Jesus was but could not because of the crowd

for he was vertically challenged. So I ran ahead climbed up into a sycamore tree to

see him. Now for those of you that grew up in church every time I read Luke 19

4 I hear the song. Climb up in a sycamore tree to see what he could see. Every

time I read that verse the song goes through my head it's hard to resist.

Obviously okay. Verse 5 then when Jesus came to the place he looked up and saw

him and said to him Zacchaeus hurry make haste come down. For today I must stay at your house.

So Zacchaeus made haste came down and received him joyfully. Look how pumped Zacchaeus is.

But when they the other Jews that were there following Jesus observing Jesus saw this.
