He Calls Sinners, Not the Righteous - Matthew S4E1

About this episode

This episode explores how Jesus calls sinners to follow Him, emphasizing the importance of recognizing our need for salvation and the transformative power of faith.

This episode dives into Matthew 9 and the calling of Matthew, highlighting how Jesus meets us right in the middle of our sin and calls us to follow Him. Through personal stories of salvation, repentance, and transformation, we see that faith becomes real when the gospel moves from something we’ve heard to something we personally receive. The conversation emphasizes that we are not the ones searching for Jesus, He finds us. Just like Matthew in the tax booth, we are often outsiders, stuck in sin, yet still pursued by grace. It also challenges us not to minimize sin, but to recognize our deep need for a Savior, because the weight of the cross shows just how serious sin really is. At its core, this message shows that salvation begins with need, is shaped through daily surrender, and is seen in a life transformed by Jesus. 📌 Supplemental Resources From This Week: • Old To New - Matthew Season 4 Trailer• Jesus, the Friend of Sinners - Old to New - Matthew S4E1• Jesus, the Friend of Sinners - Old to New - Matthew S4E1 (Full Service)• Matthew Season 4 AboutThe Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.
