Matthew 10 The Jesus exchange
Monday Jun 26, 2017
Monday Jun 26, 2017
The Jesus exchange goes like this:
Give up what you cannot keep, in order to gain what you cannot lose.
Jesus says 'Everyone who tries to save their own life will lose it, but everyone who gives up their life for me will find it.'
This is a hard sell in an individualistic, me-focussed culture! Jesus asks nothing less than 100% commitment. But what he gives in exchange for our selfish, fearful, dying life is his own resurrected, joyful, forever life.
This sermon was preached at Pakenham Lakeside Church on Sunday 25th June 2017.

After Jacob wrestles with God, he is left with both a blessing and a limp...
Blessed but limping? Is that really the way God works in our lives?
Could it be that our limp is actually a sign of our encounter with God?
And what happens when God encounters us?
This sermon explores the theme of suffering through the lens of Genesis 32.
It was preached at Sunday Night at St John's, Southgate, Melbourne, on August 3rd, 2014.
