Outline

Hook: Who are you praying for — that they would come to faith in Jesus? (Think and pray specifically for that person throughout the sermon this morning.)

I. THE MAGNETISM OF GRACE
"Jesus’ teaching consistently attracted the irreligious while offending the Biblebelieving religious people of his day.” – Tim Keller

II. THE MOTOR OF MERCY
"Jesus came to invite outsiders, not to coddle insiders.” – Eugene Peterson

Takeaway: A church for sinners!
