Luke 19:1-10

The story of Zacchaeus in Jericho: the tax collector climbs a tree, Jesus dines with him, 'For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.'

FREED | Shame - Jon Tyson

The sermon teaches that shame is a core human wound—both psychological and social—and that Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection uniquely remove shame by restoring dignity and belonging. Practical freedom comes not from self-help or moralism alone but from encountering the gospel, receiving mercy, practicing confession and community, and participating in the church’s sacraments.

Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector in Jericho, is met by Jesus who declares that he too is a son of Abraham and gives him a new future.

FREED | Past - Jon Tyson

Jon Tyson preaches that the gospel frees people from the power of their past by practicing a biblical form of 'forgetting,' embracing a redeemed time orientation, and living from the future God promises. Using Paul as an example and drawing on psychological insights about time perspective, he calls listeners to surrender their guilt and shame to Jesus and press toward the new life God offers.

Be like Zacchaeus — 'I am this short and the crowd is big, I better climb a tree' — seize the moment to do the right thing.
