Sermon Notes:
Zacchaeus - He Knows My Name
Luke 19:1-10
ZACCHAEUS was an Emotionally Needy Person.
A Definition:Wanting or needing affection, attention, or reassurance, especially to an excessive degree.
I believe this describes ZACCHAEUS.
Emotionally Needy People like ZACCHAEUS needed ten things:
1. Accepted
2. Believed in
3. Cared about
4. Forgiven
5. Loved
6. Safe
7. Supported
8. Trusted
9. Understood
10. Valued (Includes appreciated)
ZACCHAEUS Thought: “Maybe, Just Maybe, The God Man Could Help”
I believe that Zach had got wind of what had taken place earlier: Go back and look at Luke 18: The Pharisee is condemned and the Tax Collector comes out on top.
WHAT ZACCHAEUS FOUND IN JESUS
A) He FOUND SOMEONE THAT: KNEW HIS NAME
B) He FOUND ACCEPTANCE
C) He FOUND FORGIVENESS
D) He FOUND RESTORATION
Next Sunday Morning, May 7th
Special sermon emphasis on Alzheimer’s and Dementia
