Moving Toward Christ

What keeps us from moving closer to Jesus when we feel far away? In this message from The Art of Repentance sermon series, we explore the story of Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1–10) and discover that repentance is not about getting better before coming close—it’s about trusting Jesus enough to move toward Him with our whole selves. This sermon addresses the fear of looking performative, the hesitation many feel around altar calls, and why the Bible consistently portrays repentance as something we practice not only with our hearts, but with our bodies. Together, we’re invited to experience repentance as a grace-filled rhythm that leads to real freedom, healing, and transformation.
