... loads of them! If you live in a secured apartment building, you might have a secret numbered code that you punch into a keyboard in order to open the door. If you own a safe, you probably have a secret code to unlock it. Or if you belong to an exclusive (or rather inclusive) club, you might have a secret sign, a special key, a code word, or a secret handshake ready in order to be let in. Likewise, we use secret passwords all the time when we use our computers and phone apps. Use email? You have a password ...

902. All the Pretty Horses

Luke 12:13-21, Luke 12:1-12, 1 Kings 3:16-28

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... with money. It’s about the breaking down of relationships. It’s about the harm of hatred and division. It’s about the perils of going your own way and relying only on your own plan. It’s the result of “me first” in a “me exclusive culture.” It’s all about wanting for ourselves what we perceive as “fair” and “just” and “our share.” Except our sense of justice is usually a bit skewed. For Jesus, there is something much more important at stake in this man’s question than money ...

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... bustled not just with working class Jews but with Greek traditions and builders and Roman soldiers (centurions). For the people who lived there, the Via Maris was the “via prosus” –the way forward to good jobs, abundant living, cultural tolerance, and an exclusive view of the world outside of Israel. For Jesus, this was prime mission field –the “frontier” for his mission to the gentiles. But not just any gentiles. These were the “lost sheep of Israel” –those lost from the tribes of the ...

904. The Pardoning of Jezebel

Mark 7:24-30, 1 Kings 9:10-28

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... to do is come to Jesus in prayer, acknowledging Him as Lord and Savior, and He will create a place for us in God’s heavenly kingdom. Now that’s radical mercy. That’s radical justice. That’s radical inclusion. You see, justice is not meted out by exclusions and shunnings, by rules and regulations. God’s justice is the outlandishly shocking mercy that teaches us how truly to be human. For as Jesus reminds us, it is not what is on the outside that makes us who we are, but the love that comes from our ...

905. Immersed

Matthew 3:13-17

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... one’s own path to instead pledge loyalty to following the One True God. One agrees to be guided by God, protected by God, and guaranteed life by God. In return for God’s promise of life and protection, the covenant holder agrees to ultimate and exclusive loyalty, devotion, obedience, love. It is a “blood pact.” Now this isn’t really that far fetched is it? Have any of you sworn a “blood pact” with anyone? Anyone pledge a fraternity or sorority? Or another kind of society or group in which you ...

906. Look At Your Fixations!

Deuteronomy 26:1-15

Sermon

Carl Jech

... that amounts to an addiction? To look at or treat any of our human relationships in this way would indeed be the kind of "love" that Stanton Peele calls an addiction. No human being can stand to be worshiped, to have others depend totally and exclusively upon him or her for everything! Furthermore, it would not be fair for me to depend on someone else in this way. Only God is capable of bearing the burden of our total and absolute trust! Only God is always completely available to us in unconditional ...

907. The Wind Came

Acts 2:1-13

Sermon

King Duncan

... -hearted believer who jumps three pews to express his conviction. He is the Lord and Father of us all. This brings us to the final thing to be said, and that is concerning the missionary nature of Pentecost. The Christian movement was never intended to be an exclusive club directed only toward a small segment of humanity. It was not for the church that Christ died. It was not for the Jewish nation that Christ died. It was for the world that he died. Now you say, “That’s obvious pastor. We don’t need ...

908. Sheep? Seriously?

John 10:1-21

Sermon

David & Marian Plant

... and can live life to the fullest. Blindness, in Jesus’ religion and culture equaled the by-product of sins, in this case, sins of the parents carried over to their offspring. Recovering sight for the blind meant the gift of new life — a life of inclusion instead of exclusion, a life of status as one of the community not as outcast, a life now fit to be admitted into synagogue and temple, no longer unclean by ritual law. The man would no longer have to beg to survive. He could earn a living and support a ...

... usual culprits did not show up in any of the tests or countless questions about medical history. What did he suggest? He suggested giving him some electrolytes, through a couple bottles of water. However anathema to this nursing mom committed exclusively to breastfeeding, the answer was immediately yes. The water with electrolytes in it came and was consumed, followed by the customary routine of the afternoon feeding, the child slept without incident. Then again, through the evening, and finally through the ...

The Word of God well understood and religiously obeyed is the shortest route to spiritual perfection. And we must not select a few favorite passages to the exclusion of others. Nothing less than a whole Bible can make a whole Christian.

Aiden Wilson Tozer

But, in the name of the experimental method and out of our poor knowledge, are we really entitled to claim that everything happens by chance, to the exclusion of all other possibilities?

Albert Claude

That we are not much sicker and much madder than we are is due exclusively to that most blessed and blessing of all natural graces, sleep.

Charles Ives

The entire universe is perfused with signs, if it is not composed exclusively of signs.

Charles Sanders Peirce

Best-sellerism is the star system of the book world. A (best-seller) is a celebrity among books. It is a book known primarily (sometimes exclusively) for its well-knownness.

Daniel J. Boorstin

Exclusion is never the way forward on our shared paths to freedom and justice.

Desmond Tutu

To endure the cross is not tragedy; it is the suffering which is the fruit of an exclusive allegiance to Jesus Christ.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

I try to learn from the past, but I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the present. That's were the fun is.
