Pr. Nick preached out of Luke 19:11-27 on God's incredible redemptive love for all people!

Time and time in the Gospels, Jesus shows us that He is less concerned about reputation and much more concerned for our heart and souls!

…Jesus is addressing the thinking that salvation is for certain people who are decent but no really bad people

…It's the idea that I am better than my neighbor because I grew up in it, follow the right things and only associate with certain people

…It's the thinking that you have to clean up your act at least a little bit before you can sit down with Jesus and have lunch with him. 

…It's the idea that earning favor, love and relationship is the way to God - When in reality no one is deserving and no one can earn salvation.

Jesus is seeking us…how should we respond…

…Stop trying to varnish your reputation - Jesus is not calling us to make up for our past by doing good deeds and being clean people. Instead when we meet the Savior He enters our home and His redeeming love transforms our hears and lives. 

…God wants us to surrender our judgements and prejudice and accept that the work of Christ on the cross is enough for each one of us and your neighbor with the bad reputation. Jesus cares about your pain - He also cares about the pain of your enemy.

…Jesus died on the Cross so that we could walk this life in freedom and turn to Him who is eager to seek you and free you from the captivity holding you back from experiencing the joy of the Lord and the fellowship of his love.
