<p>Elder Debbie Matake’s sermon, <em>“Still Seeking the Lost,”</em> reminds believers that the true mission of the church is to reach people beyond the church walls with the love and grace of Christ. Using the story of Zacchaeus in Luke 19, she highlights how Jesus intentionally sought out the rejected, broken, and lost. The message challenges Christians not to become part of the “crowd” that blocks others from coming to Christ, but instead to actively serve their communities with compassion, generosity, and acceptance. Through powerful real-life examples and a heartfelt appeal for mission work in Bellville South, the sermon calls believers to move beyond comfort and become living sermons that reflect the grace of Jesus.</p>
