Join us as Rev. Bernie E Strickling preaches a message tittle "How bad do you want it?" -Luke 19
Have you ever felt so desperate to encounter Jesus that you'd climb a tree just to catch a glimpse of Him? In Pastor Bernie's powerful message from Luke 19, we meet Zacchaeus, a wealthy tax collector who did exactly that. Through this compelling narrative, Pastor Bernie unveils how true transformation happens when we desperately pursue Jesus, regardless of our social status or past mistakes. He masterfully draws parallels between Zacchaeus's determination and our own spiritual hunger, challenging us to examine how badly we truly want a relationship with Christ. The sermon takes an intimate turn as Pastor Bernie shares personal testimonies of God's faithfulness, reminding us that Jesus doesn't just want to be seen – He wants to enter our homes and transform our lives from the inside out. This message serves as a wake-up call to the City of God congregation: salvation isn't about us finding Jesus; it's about allowing Jesus, who is actively seeking us, to find and transform us. The urgent invitation stands: Will you, like Zacchaeus, welcome Jesus into your private space, allowing Him to bring salvation to your house today?
