In this message, we explore Matthew 9:9–13 and the power of Matthew’s simple “yes” to Jesus. His story reminds us that Jesus calls the willing, not the perfect. As Jesus shows mercy to those far from Him, we’re invited to do the same. We’re also challenged to take ownership of our growth, even in a world full of distractions and excuses. What could Jesus do with your yes? More than you think. Subs...
