In the account of Zacchaeus found in Luke 19, we are introduced to three central "characters," the third of which we should strive to be like. [NOTE: Due to technical issues, the last few minutes of the sermon are of poor audio quality, but they can still be understood.]

This sermon is the first in a Sunday-evening series titled, "Titus: An Island Mission." In a short letter of only 46 verses, we can find all that is needed for doctrine, knowledge, and life. Matthew begins with an introduction that sets the stage for a deeper study. In this lesson, we are given a snapshot of the letter's author, recipient, locale, and reason for writing.

Matthew begins a series titled, "Experiencing Biblical Community," based upon the early growth of the church as seen in the Book of Acts. In this first sermon, we look at a small group of 120 believers, who grew into a megachurch in Jerusalem and then planted churches throughout the world. Our society today, while one of tremendous connectivity, is also a society of loneliness. We are connected, but we don't have relationships. Fortunately, we learn from this lesson that there are things we can do to have the type of community we see in the first-century church.
