"For to Hear Him"
Jul 13, 2025 • Steve Baker
In this grace-filled message, Pastor Steve Baker explores the remarkable truth that publicans and sinners came to Jesus "for to hear him" - they wanted to hear what He had to say. Using the familiar parables of the lost sheep, lost coin, and prodigal son, Pastor Baker reveals how Jesus responded to the Pharisees' criticism about receiving sinners by showing them God's heart for the lost. Through compelling stories of transformed lives like Matthew the tax collector and Zacchaeus, he demonstrates that no one is too far gone for God's grace. This encouraging sermon reminds us that Jesus still receives sinners today and that there is great joy in heaven over every person who repents and comes to Him.
