Jesus, Friend of Sinners

What does it really mean to love people like Jesus? In this sermon, “Jesus, Friend of Sinners,” Ps Mike Gowans explores the story of Zacchaeus in Luke 19 and reveals how Jesus showed kindness, compassion, and love to the people everyone else overlooked or rejected.

As the 2nd sermon of the "Kindness Conspiracy" series, discover four biblical truths about God's kindness, loving difficult people, and putting your Christian faith into action. Jesus didn't define Zacchaeus by his reputation or past mistakes. Instead, He saw him, called him by name, and intentionally moved toward him when everyone else kept their distance.

Through this message, learn how to love others like Jesus, recognize people who feel invisible, speak words of encouragement, and demonstrate God's love through simple, intentional acts of kindness. Whether you're struggling to love someone difficult, looking to grow in your relationship with God, or wanting to make a difference in your community, this sermon will challenge you to see people through the eyes of Jesus.

Who have you been overlooking? Who have you been avoiding? That person might be the very person God is calling you to reach.
