Luke 19:1-10

How to Be a Seeker-Friendly Church

1. Learn from Zacchaeus

-Seek Jesus, the Only source of true hope and fulfillment

-Be Honest and Humbled by our sins

-Respond to Jesus in Faith, Joy, and Obedience

2. Refuse the Crowd

-Do we want to see Jesus or have dinner with him?

-Never count someone outside the power of God

-Recognize that many people want and need to get closer to Jesus but aren't able b/c of the religious crowd wanting to be closer to Jesus

-Don't Confuse Holiness with Isolation (Superiority, Pride)

3. Proclaim and Display Jesus

-Seek and Save the Lost

*We don't "save" people but we do live out the mission of Christ

-Speak to People- treat them as people, not projects

-Go on their turf (when possible); hospitality

-Point to a New Life and Future in Christ
