'Costly Privilege' from the Sermon Series Matthew
Episode description
Pastor Mike Weaver returns to close out the series following Jesus’ discourse (Chapter 10 of Matthew’s Gospel) to the apostles before they head out on mission. The opening words from today's scripture ‘Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to Earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword’ are challenging and maybe don’t fit with many people’s understanding of Jesus.
Yet, Jesus is plain when he says there will be division on his account. Division in families and society. It is all about commitment and who the Christian will put first. Listen as Pastor Mike challenges you, that ‘if you claim to be saved by the cross, then you need full commitment to the person who hung upon it’. Live like you are truly committed, and then the world may take notice.
