9 As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at his tax collector’s booth. “Follow me and be my disciple,” Jesus said to him. So Matthew got up and followed him.
10 Later, Matthew invited Jesus and his disciples to his home as dinner guests, along with many tax collectors and other disreputable sinners.
11 But when the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with such scum? ”
12 When Jesus heard this, he said, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do.”
13 Then he added, “Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: ‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.’ For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.”

An Unlikely Calling Part 2
An Unlikely Calling Part 2
John Randall

“Oh we’ve never done it that way before!”  Has that thought ever raced through your mind at church?  Perhaps as the worship team has added some new instruments!  Or the pastor is now doing the announcements at the end of service instead of the beginning!   Today on a Daily Walk we’ll learn the need to be flexible in our endeavor to reach out to people, with the realization that God may want to do something new and different in this generation.

Who Is the Disciple Matthew?
Who Is the Disciple Matthew?
Stuart and Jill Briscoe

Ever feel like you don’t belong? Like you’re not in the “in” group? Jesus’ disciple Matthew certainly did—as a tax collector, he was rejected and hated by his fellow Jews and by those in the “in” group. When Jesus called Matthew to be one of his followers, Matthew left his sinful lifestyle without hesitation—and then called his fellow “outsiders” to do the same!  In this message, Pete Briscoe gives us the background of Matthew’s story and shows us what this story really teaches us about Jesus himself.
