No Perfect People Allowed

September 02, 2018
Frank Foreman
As an introduction to the sermon series Frank introduces us to the writer of Matthew. He was a disciple himself and when Jesus called for him to come and follow, he called him out of a misspent life into a life of eternal purpose and divine mission.
Episode Notes
Matthew 9:9-13
Jesus didn’t invite perfect people to follow Him … He invited sinners who recognized their desperate need for a Savior.
Why was Jesus so good to people who were so bad?
1. LOGIC
Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. (Vs. 12)
2. SCRIPTURE
I desire mercy, and not sacrifice. (Vs. 13)
3. AUTHORITY
I came not to call the righteous, but sinners. (Vs. 13)
CHALLENGE: Stop separating routine from heart … Start getting very specific with God.
Jesus saves sinners. I am one. I hope you know you’re one. If you do, you’re within reach of the Great Physician.
