Outlines
🙏 The Call of Matthew
This paragraph opens with a greeting and the recitation of the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 9, verses 9-13. It recounts the moment when Jesus sees Matthew, a tax collector, and calls him to follow. Matthew immediately rises and follows Jesus. Later, Jesus dines with tax collectors and sinners, which prompts the Pharisees to question why He associates with such people. Jesus responds by emphasizing that He came not to call the righteous, but sinners, likening Himself to a doctor who heals the sick, not the healthy.
🤔 Reflecting on Matthew's Response
The speaker reflects on Matthew’s immediate and decisive response to Jesus’ call, encouraging the audience to consider their own reaction to God's invitation.

💡 The Importance of Answering God's Call
This section emphasizes that when God calls, He provides the strength and guidance needed to fulfill His will. If we choose to respond, God will support us, protect us, and bless us. However, the speaker also humorously notes that God doesn’t force anyone—if we resist, the journey may falter.
