-10, Associate Pastor Stephen Bean walks through the story of Zacchaeus, a corrupt tax collector marooned in the branches of a sycamore tree by his own greed and public shame.

Have you ever felt like your past mistakes precede you into every room you enter? Most of us know the heavy, suffocating weight of being the outcast, standing on the outside of a crowd while carrying a burden of regret we crafted with our own hands. We spend our weeks trying to cover up our flaws, desperate to stay hidden yet starving to be known.
In this message on Luke
As you start your week, discover how Christ willingly trades places with us. He carries our bitter dishonor onto the tree of the cross so that we can step down into total forgiveness. Listen in to encounter a Savior who is actively hunting down the bruised, forgotten sheep and offering a grace that changes everything.
