" Zacchaeus: Sinner or Saint? "

Ephesians 1:11-23

Luke 19:1-10

(Click on Scripture Passage)

Another tax collector...(heavy sigh). On All Saints Sunday, when we honor those in our congregation who have passed away in the last year, the gospel lesson from Luke tells us of a chief tax collector who receives salvation.

What is it with all of these tax collectors? And what to make of Zacchaeus who we only hear from in the gospels in this one story.

Join us for worship on Sunday at 10:30 AM as we honor the saints who have gone before us and consider the salvation of a rich guy in a corrupt profession.

Blessings and peace,

Danny
