November 23, 2025 - See People Like Jesus Does - Dr. Nathan Millican
In the final sermon of the "Something's Happening" series, Pastor Nate addresses the urgency of evangelism through the command to see people as Jesus does. Focusing on Matthew 9:9-13, the message explores Jesus' call to Matthew, a tax collector who was widely hated and deemed politically, religiously, and socially unacceptable. Jesus moved towards Matthew, demonstrating that true compassion and love require action, not just feeling. When questioned by the Pharisees for eating with sinners, Jesus countered that He came to call the sick, not the well, desiring mercy over sacrifice. Pastor Nate challenges believers to run from legalism and be willing to do whatever it takes to bring people to Jesus. He warns against the "gospel bubble," urging the congregation to remember that they are modern-day Matthews who should not look disdainfully upon non-believers but instead acknowledge their full humanity and move towards them with the Gospel. The service culminates with a powerful personal story and the Gospel, emphasizing that sin is humanity's deepest problem and forgiveness in Jesus is our deepest need.
