By Gary Antion - Join us for this eye opening video sermon on Mercy and Graciousness. See what God's Holy Scriptures have to say about this subject.

”I grew up thinking that Christianity was basically cruel and hypocritical.” “The core teachings of Jesus align very well with the core teachings of James Madison.” “That's why we need Christianity. It's not because we don't have reason to fear. It's because we do.” —Jonathan Rauch, from the episode We're at a crossroads, where Christianity and secularism in America are both operating at cross-purposes, and both need a critical reassessment of their role in democratic public life. In his new book, Jonathan Rauch “reckons candidly with both the shortcomings of secularism and the corrosion of Christianity.” He “addresses secular Americans who think Christianity can be abandoned, and Christian Americans who blame secular culture for their grievances.” Jonathan Rauch is senior fellow in the Governance Studies program at the Brookings Institution. He is the author of several books, including The Constitution of Knowledge: A Defense of Truth and his latest book (under discussion in this episode),  Cross Purposes: Christianity's Broken Bargain with Democracy. Follow him on X @jon_rauch. He is also a celebrated essayist, a contributing writer for The Atlantic, and a recipient of the 2005 National Magazine Award, the magazine industry's equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize. In this episode Mark Labberton and Jonathan Rauch discuss: Republican virtue What Jesus and James Madison have in common The political idolatry of secularism The differences between the thin church, sharp church, and thick church The political orientation of the church in exile Tyrannical fear The Morman church's example of civic theology “of patience, negotiation, and mutual accommodation” The promise of power in exchange for loyalty About Jonathan Rauch Jonathan Rauch is senior fellow in the Governance Studies program at the Brookings Institution.

Follow him on X @jon_rauch. Show Notes Cross Purposes: Christianity's Broken Bargain with Democracy The Constitution of Knowledge: A Defense of Truth Reasonable, civic mindedness “Graciousness toward a faith you don't share.” “Of course I knew I was Jewish. I also knew that the idea of God seemed silly to me. I just never, never could believe it.” The Rev. Dr. Mark McIntosh 2003 Atlantic article: “The dumbest thing I ever wrote” celebrating secularism in America (”Let It Be,” The Atlantic, May 2003) “ It turned out that when Christianity started to fail, people started looking for substitutes, because they were looking for a source of identity and values and transcendent meaning.” Political idolatry of secularism “A major reason the country is becoming ungovernable is because of Christianity's crisis. We can no longer separate the two, and that's why I, a very secular person, am writing a book about Christianity.” “Moving away from the teachings of Jesus…” “The core teachings of Jesus align very well with the core teachings of James Madison.” Mark's description of his father: “ My dad used to save certain neck veins for the discussion of religion because he felt like it was something that should be avoided, at that time, at all costs, particularly its most zealous kind. And his primary critique was that what religious people do is that they take great things and make them small. …   What shocked me when I became a Christian was this discovery that Jesus and my dad had this same theme in common, that Jesus often objected to the small making of various religious authorities of his day.” “God's capacious grace, creativity, purpose, and love” Will the church live in its identity as followers of Jesus? “Christianity is a load-bearing wall in our liberal democracy.” “Republican virtues” (not the party): lawful, truthful, civic education, tolerant, pluralistic Christianity's role in upholding the unprecedented religious freedom “When Christians begin demanding things that are inconsistent with those core values, that makes everything else in the country harder.” “The thin church is a church that blends into the surrounding culture and it becomes diluted.” “The sharp church is …  where the church takes on the political colorations of the surrounding environment, aligns itself with a political party.” Divisive and polarizing “The third is the thick church. And there, the challenge is that you want a church to be counter cultural. You want it to have a strong sense of its own values. Otherwise, it's just not doing the work. So it needs to ask a lot of its followers. It needs to give a lot back in exchange. That's what sociologists mean by, by thick communities and groups. At the same time, it needs to be reasonably well aligned with our constitution and our liberal democratic values.” Church of fear Fear of demographic decline Cultural fear and losing the country to the woke Left Fear of emasculation Plain old political fear: “Our side needs to win.” Fear as a major theme of the Bible Fear of God as “the beginning of wisdom” “A communion of unlike people. … A workshop in which the character of God … is meant to be learned.” Immaturity and lack of wisdom in the church “The chief defense of the faith in the world that Jesus died and rose is that unlike people find communion with one another in a union that only Jesus Christ's death and resurrection could actually accomplish.” “Tyrannical fear”—a drive for dominance “Fear is part of the human condition. Yet what's so countercultural about Christianity, is its teaching that you can't be governed by that fear. You can't let it run your life and go around in a state of panic. And that Jesus Christ himself had lots to be fearful of, as we know from the end that he came to, and yet comported himself in this calm and dignified way, did not let fear triumph over him. That's why we need Christianity. It's not because we don't have reason to fear. It's because we do.” “Fear casts out love.” Trump administration['s] … demonstration of a capacity to have literally no compassion, no empathy.” The paradigm of Exodus versus the paradigm of exile Isaiah 58: “ Now as strangers in a strange land in Babylon, I'm going to ask you: Who are you now? Who do you trust now? Who are you going to put the full weight of your life on now?” “Exilic Church” “ Christianity is not about owning the country or winning in politics.” “It can't be a coincidence that at a moment when (at least) white Protestantism in the United States is obsessed with political influence and has mortgaged itself to the least Christlike figure possibly in American political history (in any case, right up there) that its numbers are shrinking catastrophically.” “The irony of the cross always is this self emptying power.” [Trump] is saying, “I will give you power, and in exchange, you will give me unquestioning loyalty.” Comparing Trump's transaction (at Dordt University in Iowa) “If you vote for me, you will have power” with the temptation of Christ in the desert: “All of this will be yours if you bow down to me.” Transactional relationship with power The Mormon church's “ civic theology … of patience, negotiation, and mutual accommodation” Jesus: “Don't be afraid, imitate Jesus, and forgive each other.” Madisonian liberalism: “Don't panic if you lose an election, protect minorities and the dignity of every individual, and don't seek retribution if you win, share the country.” “When Gandhi was asked what he thought of Western civilization, he said, ‘It would be a good idea.'” Black church and MLK Jr.—”emphasis on Reverend” “You accept the stripes and the crown of thorns. You turn the other cheek.” Profoundly counterintuitive countercultural example Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment magazine and Fuller Seminary.

Luke 19:11-2711 As they heard these things, he proceeded to tell a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they supposed that the kingdom of God was to appear immediately. 12He said therefore, “A nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and then return.13 Calling ten of his servants, he gave them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Engage in business until I come.'14 But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man to reign over us.' 15 When he returned, having received the kingdom, he ordered these servants to whom he had given the money to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by doing business. 16 The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten minas more.' 17And he said to him, ‘Well done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.' 18And the second came, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made five minas.' 19 And he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.' 20Then another came, saying, ‘Lord, here is your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief; 21 for I was afraid of you, because you are a severe man. You take what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.' 22He said to him, ‘I will condemn you with your own words, you wicked servant! You knew that I was a severe man, taking what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow? 23 Why then did you not put my money in the bank, and at my coming I might have collected it with interest?' 24 And he said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina from him, and give it to the one who has the ten minas.' 25And they said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas!' 26 ‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 27But as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slaughter them before me.'” Sermon Questions:1. What are some things God has gifted to you in your life? What changes when you see them as gifts?2. What often leads the way in your 'doing business' with the world? e.g. reputation, experience, intelect, etc.3. How can you gengage the world with Jesus held out front?4. Where have you been 'sitting on' the gift of Jesus? Why?5. How does living faithfully change if it's not about you doing 'all the things' for Jesus but instead about being with Jesus?

Pastor Terry A. Smith - When we show grace to others, we can become more like God. When we become more like God, we become more gracious.

God desires to use your circumstances to thrust you forward for the furtherance of the gospel. Praying for the salvation of the lost is working with God to accomplish His purpose. We cannot effectively go with the gospel until we pray. When God opens the door and there is a moment of utterance, may we be waiting, expecting, watching, praying, and believing God.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Bethany shares a story about her child who always needed the answers before starting a book. He struggled to enjoy the story, impatiently wanting to know how it ended. Often, we're the same—wanting clarity in life right away, unable to rest in the uncertainty. Psalm 119:30 reminds us, “The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.” God graciously promises that as life unfolds, he will provide light and understanding. But rather than giving us all the answers at once, his grace invites us to rest in him, trusting his wisdom and timing. Resting in God's graciousness allows us to embrace the process, knowing that even in the waiting, He's working all things together for good.   Connect with Bethany hereFollow her on Instagram @bethanykimsey Stop feeling defeated in your motherhood.

Defining Moments: Navigating Cultural Chaos, part of our "Defining Moments" series, delves into the cultural chaos we face as Christians and how our identity in Christ allows us to stand firm. Using the story of Daniel and his friends in Daniel 1:1-21, Pastor Brian explores the importance of staying true to who we are in Christ, no matter where we are. Key Points from the Sermon: 1. God's Sovereignty and Grace: Even in exile, Daniel and his friends remained confident in God's sovereignty and grace. This same truth applies to us today in the midst of cultural pressures. 2. The Power of Identity: Daniel's refusal to accept Babylon's identity for him (Daniel 1:8) highlights the importance of knowing who we are in Christ. As Christians, our purpose is our identity in action. 3. The Renaming of Daniel and His Friends: The enemy sought to rename Daniel and his companions, but their trust in God allowed them to reject those labels. This reminds us that the names and labels others give us don't define our worth or purpose (Daniel 1:1-7). 4. Standing Up with Conviction, Graciousness, and Faith: Daniel's stand against the king's food demonstrated his deep conviction and faith. He was able to do so graciously and with wisdom, trusting God to honor his faithfulness (Daniel 1:8-16). 5. Excellence and Unity in the Face of Chaos: Despite the cultural pressures around them, Daniel and his friends stood out for their excellence and integrity, shining brightly for God in a foreign land. They also stood together, reminding us of the strength in unity (Daniel 1:17-21). Special Highlights: 1. Have you heard about the The Bridge Initiative? It's an online alternative offering a variety of leadership education options. This program features bachelor's and associate degrees through Indiana Wesleyan University, personal coaching for guidance, and flexible scheduling with accelerated 6-week classes, all fully online.

If you're ready to publicly declare your faith and commit to Christ through baptism, we invite you to visit pathwayvb.com/decided for the next steps in your spiritual journey. Reflective Questions: 1. Will you stand-up with conviction? 2. Will you stand-up with graciousness? 3. Will you stand-up with faith? 4. Will you stand-up with excellence? 5. Will you stand-up with others?

Don't we all want to know what's around the corner...what's coming next...and ultimately how we can be certain in control? However, that's not the nature of the spiritual life of faith. There is a gracious uncertainty to walking in faith with Christ that supersedes us being certain and in control. Check out this message and share it to encourage others.

Sunday sermon from February 11, 2024
