Zacchaeus the Tax Collector

1 Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through.

2 A man named Zacchaeus lived there. He was a chief tax collector and was very rich.

3 Zacchaeus wanted to see who Jesus was. But he was a short man. He could not see Jesus because of the crowd.

4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree. He wanted to see Jesus, who was coming that way.

5 Jesus reached the spot where Zacchaeus was. He looked up and said, "Zacchaeus, come down at once. I must stay at your house today."

6 So Zacchaeus came down at once and welcomed him gladly.

7 All the people saw this. They began to whisper among themselves. They said, "Jesus has gone to be the guest of a 'sinner.' "

8 But Zacchaeus stood up. He said, "Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of what I own to those who are poor. And if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay it back. I will pay back four times the amount I took."

9 Jesus said to Zacchaeus, "Today salvation has come to your house. You are a member of Abraham's family line.

10 The Son of Man came to look for the lost and save them."

Table Ministry

Bob Russell, Mike Breaux, Rick Atchley, Ben Cachiaras, Aaron Brockett, and Gene Appel

In this message, Ben Cachiaras, Lead Pastor of Mountain Christian Church in Joppa, Maryland, explores how something as simple as sharing a meal can become a powerful opportunity for ministry and authentic connection.Throughout the Gospels, Jesus used the table to welcome people, especially those who felt forgotten, rejected, or far from God. From dining with tax collectors and sinners to describing the Kingdom of God as a great banquet feast, Jesus showed that everyone has a place at His table.This message encourages us to be intentional with our meals, inviting others in and creating space for meaningful relationships. Listen in to hear how every table can become a place of ministry, and every meal can become a mission.

A Story of Two Men, Part 1

Tim Kelley

We need help changing the way we think about God, ourselves and others. We have to untangle our often life-long religious concepts and images of God - produced from a fallen human heart - and the only way to do that is to replace these erroneous concepts with truth. Whatever you have done, no matter how bad we may deem it to be, Salvation has come to you through Jesus Christ.
