Sermon - The Power of a Changed Heart

Using the story of Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1–10), Pastor Jenny invites us to consider the difference between curiosity and longing—and how both can draw us closer to Christ. Like Zacchaeus climbing the sycamore tree, we all have moments when we reach upward, longing for a clearer view, to be seen, and to be changed. Jesus’ response to Zacchaeus shows that grace begins not when we find God, but when God finds us. Transformation happens when we welcome Christ into our lives, and a changed heart naturally opens generous hands.

Reflection question:
Where might God be inviting you to “climb higher” for a new perspective—and how could that lead to a changed heart in your daily life?
