• Never Lost in the Crowd
    In the story of Zaccheus, Jesus does something simple—but powerful: in a sea of faces, He notices one person up in a tree, desperate for a glimpse… and ready for the Kingdom. Zaccheus’ urgency was met by Jesus’ attentiveness.

Never lost in the crowd

Never Lost in the Crowd

It’s easy—even in a room full of people—to feel invisible, isolated, and “lost in the crowd,” but Jesus doesn’t miss the hurting person on the edge. In Jericho, he stops for Bartimaeus and calls down Zacchaeus, restoring dignity to the outcast and extending grace before change is even visible. God’s vision for the church is a family that notices, slows down, and helps people move from dirt to dignity—so no one stays lost.

The Great Banquet

The Great Banquet

The Great Banquet exposes our excuses and our comfort zones—then calls us to welcome the “outsiders” the way Jesus does, instead of treating church like a quick stop with our usual people. The good news is that God isn’t passive about you: He’s urgent, pursuing, and making room at His table for anyone willing to come with a humble heart.

the Big Question

The Big Question

The question isn’t just “Who is my neighbor?”—it’s “Am I being a neighbor?” In Jesus’ story, the most unexpected person stops, pays the cost, and shows that real love doesn’t just notice need—it moves toward it.
