Hey Carpool Crew! Today we’re talking about something every kid has experienced at some point: being ignored. Maybe you’ve felt left out before. Maybe you’ve seen someone else sitting alone, getting overlooked, or feeling invisible. In today’s episode, Pastor Justin shares the story of Zacchaeus from Luke 19 and reminds us that Jesus notices people others ignore.

When everyone else overlooked Zacchaeus, Jesus stopped, called him by name, and invited Himself to Zacchaeus’ house. That moment changed everything. And today, Jesus wants us to notice people too.

Kids will learn:
• Why Jesus paid attention to overlooked people
• How one small invitation can change someone’s day
• Simple ways to include others at school
• How Jesus can help us become inviters instead of ignorers

Main Truth:
Jesus notices people others ignore.

Bible Verse:
Luke 19:5 (CSB)
“When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, ‘Zacchaeus, hurry and come down because today it is necessary for me to stay at your house.’”

Discussion Question:
Name one person that you can invite today that others may ignore?

Parents:
This episode is a great opportunity to talk with your kids about kindness, inclusion, and paying attention to kids who may feel left out. Helping children become inviters instead of observers is one small way we help them become more like Jesus.
