Summary
This Sunday, Pastor Jon continued our January sermon series, "Seeking God," by examining the story of Zacchaeus and the lengths that God will go to seek to save the lost. Jesus' Great Commission at the end of Matthew's gospel commands His followers to "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit," establishing that the priority of Heaven is bringing the lost home, and forcing us to ask, "Is it also ours?" For the Gospel of Jesus is the only message in the world that acknowledges both the beauty of the human soul and the brokenness of it, and still says it is worth saving. The church of Christ was made to continue His mission to seek and save the lost, meeting them with the unexpected, life-altering, grace of the Gospel.

| 0:24.0 | for being a part of our listening and online community. And to remind all of you that we are doing an |
| 0:30.3 | offering this year called Living the Liturgy. Every week in our church, we say a liturgy asking God |
| 0:35.5 | to form our hearts out of mammon, greed and overconsumption |
| 0:38.8 | into being people who live by faith, give generously and trust the Lord with our finances. |

| 1:07.7 | our partners who help the mission of God continue through New York City. |

| 1:23.9 | and enable what happens here in the city to be a part of your ministry legacy |
| 1:29.0 | and your spiritual fruit. So you can go to church.m.m.c slash give if you'd like to be a part |
| 1:36.5 | of that. And thanks so much for everything you do to listen along, pray for us, support us and encourage |
