LITTLE MAN MEETS THE BIG GOD

understanding and sincerity for by love; Jesus would reform this man. Christ saw not the sinful self of Zaccheaus but who God called him to be. God moved in Zaccheaus life, a sinner like many who does not know the purpose of life or what we ought to do; yet by conviction Zacchaeus stood at the mercy seat, repenting & renewing himself- not justifying or rationalizing his deeds, but in all humility turned away from spiritual decay that he be lled with the power of the King of kings. In Luke 19:1-10 we are greeted with the story of Zaccheaus, a very successful tax collector who has lost his way, been labelled a sinner & knows that something important is missing in his life. Zaccheaus represents e ver y person who doesnt yet ha ve a relationship with Jesus Christ, the prole of a normal person. That no matter the success, there is an emptiness that we cannot bear for we have been created to have a relationship with our God thus unlocking our breakthrough, our hope & future. But unlike many, Zaccheaus understood his need for Salvation thus humbling himself, accepting his weaknesses and limitations in order to see Jesus and be lled and satised if only by his presence. Then Jesus in all His majesty called out to Zaccheaus, offering him salvation; oering him a chance to turn his ways for the better. Jesus did not condemn nor judge the man but called out to him, in Luke 19:8- Zaccheus stopped and said to the Lord, Behold, Lord, half of my possessions I wi$ give to the poor, & if I have de%auded anyone of anything, I wi$ give back four times as much. By his repentance, Zacchaeus found purpose, by surrendering his life to Christ; He found salvation. Maybe today youre searching for something. Youve found out that your money & your job cant really scratch that itch in your heart. Jesus is here today, and He knows youHe loves you. He is calling you by name today. Hes saying, I want to have a relationship with you. I can see in you the person you can becomeand that person is beautiful. It is time to state our nothingness to the our Lord & confess our need of Him in our lives, for only by seeking Him will we nd satisfaction, only by desiring Him will we see true fruition & breakthrough

WORD FROM THE PASTOR

Dear Friend, Gods blessing be upon you and your family. Last week, we moved to exhort the brethren to focus on God and seek Him rst like Zaccheaus. Most of the time we are drawn out by our desire for fame, wealth, success and knowledge yet we forget that none of these things will satisfy the hunger we feel, or suce the God shaped vacuum in our hearts. Friends, all that we were, all we are & all we are going to be is because of Christ thus it is time to draw near to Him & seek His face that we may grow by His grace.

-Pastor Lyle Lopez

A CHALLENGE FOR BELIEVERS & THOSE WHO ARE CALLED TO BELIEVE

There is a great challenge for believers and those called to believe as we hunger for purpose. Many of us are so lost as we journeyed to seek the meaning of our existence that many factors have clouded the purity of our call & the great purpose He has embedded in our hearts. It is time to stand up & answer the call of the King PEOPLE 1: CALLED TO BELIEVE- Maybe you have tried everything, being a seeker for yourself you have saturated your mind with humanistic idealisms to eastern mysticism yet have never found the peace you crave or the hope for eternity; Friends it is time to come to Christ and recieve Him in your life, for He is the Only Way to peace, joy and victory through our Salvation by His Sacrice. PEOPLE 2: BELIEVERS- For us christians, our role is like that sycamore tree. We cant be Jesus to people. We can only lift people above the crowd so they can see Jesus clearly. Thats our job! We cant save people, only Jesus can. We cant change peopleonly Jesus can. Our job is to lift people up until they see Jesus, then He takes over. Are you willing to lift people up that they may see Jesus?
