Knowing God With Greg Laurie

As a tax collector, Matthew was one of society's most looked down upon. But Jesus still called him to be His follower. Notes:Focus verse: Luke 5:27–32 #1 Jesus sees Matthew.Luke 5:27 Theaomai means to have an intent look at something, to take something in with one’s eyes, with implication that one is especially impressed, see, look at, behold. #2 Jesus sees you.2 Chronicles 16:9 The acceptance and inclusion of Matthew is a picture of the redeeming power of a relationship with Jesus Christ. Jesus knows your story and He knows your potential.  #3 Jesus calls us to see others.Luke 5:29–32 Jesus meets you where you are. 82% of non-believers would go to church if they were invited by a friend or family member. The miracle is that God called that person to Himself, and you were able to be an instrument in His hand. Jesus sees you. Jesus says, “Follow Me, and be My disciple.” --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.
