On Sunday August 18, 2024 at Wildwood Community Church, I preached the second installment in the series “Finding a Place of Grace.” This message was based on Luke 19:1-10. Below you will find questions related to the message for personal reflection or group discussion. You will also find sermon audio and video to listen to/watch, download or share.
Sermon Questions:
- Pray
- Read Luke 19:1-10
- What are some examples you can think of today of groups of people who would be analogous to the tax collectors of the first century (people who would have seemed like morally “too short to ride” with Jesus)?
- Zacchaeus learned of Jesus reputation as the embodiment of grace. This drew Zacchaeus to Jesus. What is the reputation of Jesus in your world today? What influences most people’s perspectives of Jesus?
- When Jesus shows up, He is even better than Zacchaeus expected! How does this picture of Jesus impact your view of Him?
- If Jesus is the embodiment of grace, then Zacchaeus embodies “faith” for us. We summarized a number of ways Zacchaeus demonstrates faith in Jesus (his desire to know Jesus, child-like enthusiasm, warm reception, and repentance). Do you see these evidences of true faith in your own life?
- Have you placed your faith and trust in Jesus Christ and are you following Him as Zacchaeus was? If so, what does that look like in your life right now? If not, what is keeping you from following Jesus with a whole heart today?
- What is one particular application you took away from this message?
