Bayou City Fellowship - Curtis Jones

Have you ever felt like you didn’t belong? Like everyone else had their place but you were on the outside looking in? In Luke 5, Jesus walks up to a man everyone had already written off. Levi was a tax collector, a traitor in the eyes of his own people. No one would have expected Jesus to choose him. But that’s exactly what He did. This passage reveals something powerful about the heart of Jesus. He doesn’t wait for people to clean themselves up first. He goes straight to the outsiders, the broken, and the ones who think they don’t make the cut—and invites them to follow Him.• Leave the guest list to Jesus and remember you are not disqualified from His grace• Bring your real needs to the table instead of hiding behind appearances• Trade the familiar things of this world for the new life Jesus offersKey Scriptures:Luke 5:27–39Isaiah 25Isaiah 61John 2:1–11Jesus still seeks outsiders and invites them to His table. The question is whether we will accept the invitation. If this message encouraged you, take a momen
