Sermon clips from Cranberry Township churches

64s
“And every day for three years, they're gonna watch the way he treats the one who is going to betray him even though they don't realize. They're not merely learning religious information. They are learning what true humanity looks like. Jesus shows them what humanity looks like unburdened by sin. Can you imagine that? He shows them compassion without sentimentality, holiness without harshness, truth without cruelty, authority without arrogance, mercy without compromise, courage without self protection, power without exploitation, they are being formed by being with him.”
61s
“As strange as it might sound, the ultimate reason Christ's disciples experience persecution is because of our union or that union they have with him which we share in. Verse 16 has an emphatic particle in the Greek. The the first person pronoun is sort of redundant. It doesn't have to be there. You could just have it. It's implied by the verb, but it's put there for a matter of emphasis. That's what we call the emphatic pronoun if you're taking Greek. I am sending you. It's Jesus himself. We're not the ones that initiate this mission to the world that brings persecution. Our lord initiates that. He's the one who sends us out and because we're in union with him by faith, that persecution that came upon him is going to come upon us. It's as simple as that.”
45s
“``Think of the coconut. The shedding of selfless selfishness and pride, the revealing of purity of heart, the outpouring of love, none of that would have been possible without a swing of the machete. Without the blade piercing the coconut's hard shell, the love inside would have never burst forth. And this is what I think Jesus means when he says his message, his word comes like a sword. His sword isn't one of destruction, but one used to pierce our souls and reveal the fruit of the spirit inside.”
38s
#BorrowedBreath
“From our first breath to our last breath, every breath is borrowed. We don't manufacture it. We receive it. Every inhale is a gift from God, And every exhale is a reminder that we depend on him. God has given you breath. He's given you life. What are you gonna do with it? How are you gonna live it out? How will you bring life to those around you?”
52s
“And so before we speak, we spend time with Jesus. Before we correct, we let Jesus correct us. Before we lead, we let Jesus lead us. Before we serve out of resentment, we return to Jesus. Before we teach, we pray. Before we post, we examine our spirits. Before we assume we know what faithfulness requires, we sit again at the feet of Jesus. The church's mission is not powered by human urgency. It's powered by communion with Jesus. That's our power.”
53s
“This passage teaches us the importance of the distinction between exclusivity and intentionality. Exclusivity says we're keeping others out so we can preserve our status, our comfort, our control. It it's there to to to protect us. But intentionality says we are a limited people with limited time, limited energy, limited resources, and so we want to steward our lives face faithfully for the sake of God's mission. That's the difference between exclusivity and intentionality.”
37s
“And here's what I want you to know. Before Jesus sends us to do his work, he calls us to be with him. Before Jesus sends sends us to do his work, he calls us to be with him. Jesus isn't turning away the crowds because they don't matter. He is forming disciples because the crowds absolutely do matter to him. And what we'll see in this passage is not only whom Jesus chose but why he chose them.”
38s
“I think sometimes it's because we found a way to make the Christian faith line up with middle class values, isn't it, in The United States? I got nothing against the middle class. I guess I'm part of it. But there's a certain way of defining Christianity and understanding it that kind of lines Jesus up with the things we all think is important as people who belong to the middle class. When the text says beware, I think that's one of the things we need to beware of.”
40s
“So what will following Christ's commands mean for his disciples in the future that verses 16 through twenty twenty three and all the way through 33 actually talk about? What will obeying Jesus mean for the future of the disciples? It will mean, in a word, persecution. In this text, obedience and persecution persecution go together. There's no way to separate them. You can't be obedient to Jesus without experiencing persecution.”
45s
“``Only when we lose our lives for the sake of the gospel do we find them. That's verse 39. And it's only then, only in that act that we can rightly assess what is going on in persecution, what is going on in many other mysteries in the Christian life. We experience the collapse of support structures in persecution, but it clarifies what we're trusting in. Our ability to endure to the end that says something about what and who we are trusting in.”
