    OPEN: The story of Zacchaeus only occurs in the Gospel of Luke. It seems to me that its possible that, as Luke interviewed people for his Gospel, he may have spoken with Zacchaeus - and the man’s story stood out to him.

    Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Mar 28, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,147 views

    This passage records two prayers, in which are shown two kinds of hearts, whose contrast is not only seen in the way they make their requests, but also in the way they approach God. Some people trust in themselves; others trust in God.

In those prayers appear two ...read more

    Good morning, church family!
