I am often asked where I find my inspiration for sermons - this is one place. I believe God speaks to me daily and this is a place where you can look over my shoulder as I write some notes to myself as we journey towards Sunday . . .

Day 298 a note from God: Luke 18-19
Zacchaeus stopped and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I give half of my possessions to the poor. And if I have cheated anyone, I repay them four times as much.”
Jesus said to him, “Today, salvation has come to this household because he too is a son of Abraham.
Luke 19:8-9 CEB
One of the overwhelming questions of faith within the Christian community is "How do I know I am 'saved'?"
How do you know that salvation has requested you?
Jesus provides the answer in this passage when He declares, “Today, salvation has come to this household."
Zacchaeus didn't pray a prayer, walk an aisle, or even get baptized and yet Jesus declares that salvation has come. Why?
Zacchaeus exhibited a life changed. Zacchaeus was transformed!
Want to know if salvation has come to your household?
Does your life exhibit a change?
Do you live a life transformed?
Do you live the faith you claim?
I think that is what Jesus was trying to teach us.
The only way to know if you have faith is to live it.
Got faith?
