Who's Looking for Who?

Nov 2, 2025  •  The Rev. Charlie Holt

Guilt and shame are not the same thing, and Zacchaeus carried both. Luke's story of the small man in the sycamore tree shows Jesus seeking him out by name and inviting himself home. Contrasting Zacchaeus's glad generosity with the rich young ruler who would not let go, the sermon also asks whether the church helps seekers find Jesus or stands in the narthex with its back to the door.
