Church at the Park: Matthew's Calling

 
One of the biggest things that gets in the way of us knowing God is that we build these imaginary walls. We believe that we have to walk and talk a certain way before following God. In the story of Matthew, we see that even though he was the scum of the earth, Jesus called Matthew to follow Him just the way he is. This is what God is doing today. He is calling us to follow Him just the way we are no matter how dirty we are.
