We begin with Zacchaeus as an example for us all--whether we identify with Jesus' stunning invitation, the crowd's response, or Zacchaeus' faith and response.

SERMON  |  2 Timothy 4:6-8, 16-18  |  NOT ASHAMED - 4. "Poured Out" by Rev. Joseph Sanford at Sellersburg United Methodist Church in Sellersburg, Indiana

We wrap up our series looking at the world through Paul's eyes -- people, God, self, church, living, suffering, and even dying.

We are to "keep the faith" as Paul did, always remembering the core identity and reality from which we live as Christians -- with Jesus as God's ruler, raised from the dead, and making all things new here...now...and forevermore.

If we buy into the pseudo-gospel of thinking the point is only where you go once you die, then not only are we missing the whole point, but we will get knocked off track so easily.

When we keep the faith we always know who we are, whose we are, and with whom we live this beautiful, messy, complicated, and stressful life of faith -- the church.
