In this sermon from Luke 19, we see how Zacchaeus—an outcast and unlikely seeker—encounters Jesus and experiences a life-changing transformation. Through this story, we’re reminded that Jesus pursues the unreachable, saves the unworthy, and transforms even the most hardened hearts. No one is too far gone for the grace of God, and true encounter with Jesus always leads to a changed life.

What if reaching people for Jesus started with simply slowing down and noticing one person? 
 
As a church, we’re launching an initiative called “Reach One.” It’s not about choosing someone in your life as a project. Instead, it’s about developing a lifestyle that slows down, pays attention to the people around us, and learns to see each person the way God sees the one. 
 
In this message from John 4:1–42, we look at Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman and what it teaches us about seeing people, crossing barriers, and sharing the hope of the gospel in everyday life.
