In this All Saints’ Day sermon, “The Fellowship of the Found” (Luke 19:1–10), Pastor David Balla of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod proclaims the grace of Christ who seeks, calls, and restores the lost. Zacchaeus’s encounter with Jesus reveals the heart of the Gospel: salvation is not earned—it is given. This message unfolds how Christ calls sinners by name, enters their homes, and makes them saints through His Word and Sacrament.

Join us as we reflect on the Communion of Saints, the fellowship of believers made holy not by worthiness but by mercy. Discover how the same Jesus who entered Zacchaeus’s home now welcomes you to His Table.

In this sermon, Pastor David Balla proclaims the heart of the Gospel: justification by grace through faith in Christ alone.From the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, we learn that true righteousness is not achieved by our works, but received through humble faith in Christ’s mercy. This message powerfully echoes the Reformation truth that “the one who humbles himself will be exalted” (Luke 18:14, ESV).

Join Pastor Balla as he expounds the difference between self-righteousness and repentance, and how the posture of the justified—kneeling in confession and rising in Christ’s righteousness—defines the Christian life.
