Our first story is about a man who desperately wanted to see Jesus, so much so that he really puts himself out there. Who is this man?You guessed it. Our guy today was an IRS agent in Israel - a Jewish man working for the Roman government - and if you think the reputation of OUR IRS agents is bad, you’re gonna find out that it was worse for this man named Zacchaeus.. What does the story of Zacchaeus have to do with us?

We saw from the book of Philemon how the potential for conflict in the church was there from the very beginning as the church was made up of people from all walks of life, all political persuasions, all races, all economic classes, even masters and slaves – all becoming disciples of Jesus, and having Jesus as the one thing in common.And because all of these people bring their humanity and brokenness and sinful natures with them into the church, guess what?

Remember Jesus didn’t call us to make converts, but disciples. There’s a difference. “Want to be a Christian” is different than “Want to be a disciple?” Disciples are disciplined. They learn. They grow. They follow. They change.Learning and growing. In other words, there’s no “arrival” in the Christian journey - not ‘til heaven, really. But even though we aren’t there, God’s design is that we continue on a journey towards “there.”But check out Hebrews 6:1a "So let us go on to grown-up teaching. Let us...

And, ironically enough, it was through the Perspectives on The World Christian Movement course that I took almost 20 years ago that I began to understand the purpose of God's church much more clearly than I ever had.
