BIG IDEA: Jesus calls sinners and transforms lives.
AN UNEXPECTED CALL (vv. 13-14)
Jesus meets us in the middle of our mess.
Respond to Jesus’ call.
NO ONE IS TOO LOST FOR JESUS (vv. 15-17)
Jesus welcomes the outcast.
Pride blinds us to our greatest spiritual need.
WALKING WITH JESUS REORIENTS OUR LIVES (vv. 18-20)
Following Jesus reshapes our priorities and practices.
Enjoy the presence of Jesus.
NEW LIFE MEANS LEARNING NEW WAYS (vv. 21-22)
The gospel is not about old religious rituals.
Following Jesus requires ongoing renewal, not nostalgia.
