Sermon May 18: The Wheat and the Weeds - Matthew 18:24-41 by Sunnybrook Christian Church
The humble will get in and be the greatest in the kingdom, and there will be judgment for anybody who tries to lead them astray.
Dave Osborne teaches on Matthew 18:1-6 on May 18, 2025 at Christ Presbyterian Church.
What evidence would convict you of being a follower of Christ? This question echoes throughout today's episode as we examine how our daily actions align with our professed faith. The journey begins with a simple yet challenging inquiry: have you made time for God today? For your spouse? For what truly matters? Just as relationships require intentional investment, our spiritual lives demand consistent attention. We explore how Scripture provides unchanging direction in a world where societal values shift like sand beneath our feet. Rather than allowing external influences to dictate our relationships, we must choose to nurture what matters most.Matthew 18 offers profound wisdom on forgiveness and community. While Christ calls us to forgive "seventy times seven," this doesn't mean subjecting ourselves to continued harm. True forgiveness frees our hearts without necessarily placing us back in harmful situations—a nuanced understanding that balances mercy with wisdom.The historical portions of our discussion reveal America's spiritual foundations through the lives of Medal of Honor recipients and early settlers. John Winthrop's famous "city upon a hill" sermon reminds us that America was established with spiritual purpose—not just as a place of opportunity, but as a covenant community dedicated to justice, mercy, and humility before God. These early Americans, facing hardships we can barely imagine, still emphasized meekness, gentleness, and mutual care.Stories from the early Christian martyrs provide sobering context for our faith journey. These believers faced torture and death rather than compromise their convictions, challenging us to consider what sacrifices we're willing to make for what we claim to believe.As we close, the question remains: if accused of being a Christian, would your life provide enough evidence for conviction? Your answer might reveal more about your spiritual condition than a thousand prayers or church attendances. Join us as we explore what authentic faith looks like in both personal relationships and national identity.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

So Much More: Creating Space for God (Lectio Divina and Scripture Meditation)
In this Lent Scripture meditation, we’ll engage in Lectio Divina, a slow, reflective way of reading Scripture, to experience a moment when Jesus challenges our assumptions about power and greatness. NOTE: I’ve created a free Lent Journal to help you reflect and pray through each meditation. It includes the Scripture passages, reflection prompts, and space to process your time with the Lord. You can download it here. At this point in Jesus’s ministry, the disciples have seen His miracles, heard His teachings, and are beginning to understand that He is the Messiah. But as we see in Matthew 18:1-5, they still assume He’s bringing an earthly kingdom—and they’re eager to know what positions of power they’ll hold. Instead of rebuking them, Jesus responds with a living illustration. He calls a child to stand among them and teaches that true greatness isn’t about status or control—it’s about humility, dependence, and trust. Through this guided Scripture meditation, you’ll have space to: Identify where you’re tempted to seek status, control, or recognition. Notice what God is highlighting in this passage for you today. Consider what’s holding you back from trusting Him fully. Rest in the truth that God’s way—even when it feels upside down—is always best. Take a moment to pause, reflect, and open your heart to Jesus’s invitation to live with childlike faith. Here are some additional helpful links: Download your free LENT guide here.

The Entire meditation text is: Matthew 18:1-5, NET The disciples came to Jesus saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” He called a child, had him stand among them, and said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn around and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven! Whoever then humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes a child like this in my name welcomes me.
