7.13.25 - Sunday Celebration Encounters UnCut Pt. 1

In this powerful sermon, we kick off the Encounters Uncut series by exploring the radical transformation of Zacchaeus in Luke 19. Climbing a tree to get a glimpse of Jesus, Zacchaeus kept his distance—physically and spiritually. But Jesus called him by name and invited Himself into Zacchaeus' life, shattering the barriers of shame, status, and social distance.

Through this message, you'll discover:

Why there is safety in distance but never transformation

How Jesus sees past your position and into your potential

What happens when you respond with obedience and take action

The truth that you are not a mistake—you are a masterpiece

This is a message for anyone who feels unseen, unworthy, or too far gone. Jesus still looks up, still calls you down, and still wants to abide in your house today.

📖 Scripture focus: Luke 19:1–10

🙌 Share this with someone who needs to know that transformation begins where distance ends.
