Sometimes the people who most want to see Jesus are the ones we’re most likely to miss.

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.

This Sunday we’re leaning into a challenge for every church and every leader:

Are there people “up in trees” all around us—quietly searching, watching, hoping—while we’re looking in the wrong places?

We’ll talk about:

• How to notice the overlooked and the “unexpected”
• Who in our church might be waiting for an invitation to study the Bible or take the next step
• How mentoring, hospitality, and simple initiative can unlock new leaders and new fruit
