Unto your hands O God of
truth my spirit I commit
You have redeemed my soul
from death and saved me
from the pit
The passions of my hope
and fear maintain a doubtful
strife
While sorrow pain and sin
conspire to take away my life
I know my days are in your
hands though I draw near to
dust
You are the God in whom I
trust. You are my refuge
So lift up your voice and
sing aloud and praise him all
you saints
How wondrous is his grace
He is our refuge
O make your most beloved
face to shine upon me now
And save me for your
mercy's sake for I am lost
without
While in my hast I'm quick to
say “Where is your help for
me?”
But you attend me when I
pray and you have heard my
plea
I know my days are in your
hands though I draw near to
dust
You are the God in whom I
trust. You are my refuge
So lift up your voice and
sing aloud and praise him all
you saints
How wondrous is his grace
He is our refuge
I know my days are in your
hands though I draw near to
dust
You are the God in whom I
trust. You are my refuge
So lift up your voice and
sing aloud and praise him all
you saints
How wondrous is his grace
He is our refuge
I know my days are in your
hands though I draw near to
dust
You are the God in whom I
trust. You are my refuge
So lift up your voice and
sing aloud and praise him all
you saints
How wondrous is his grace
He is our refuge

Amazing grace how sweet
the sound that saved a
wretch like me
I once was lost but now am
found was blind but now I see
'Twas grace that taught my
heart to fear and grace my
fears relieved
How precious did that grace
appear the hour I first
believed
My chains are gone I've been
set free. My God my savior
has ransomed me
And like a flood his mercy
reigns. Unending love
Amazing grace
The Lord has promised
good to me. His work my
hope secures
He will my shield and portion
be as long as life endures
My chains are gone I've been
set free. My God my savior
has ransomed me
And like a flood his mercy
reigns. Unending love
Amazing grace
My chains are gone I've been
set free. My God my savior
has ransomed me
And like a flood his mercy
reigns. Unending love
Amazing grace
The earth shall soon
dissolve like snow the sun
forbear to shine
But God who called me here
below will be forever mine
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine

Children's Sermon

WHO MATTERS IN
THE KINGDOM
Matthew 18
Rev. Martin Sanders
Living Christ Church
July 2012
Overview of the Kingdom
• What
• Who
• How
• When
Matthew 18:1-4
1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and
asked, “Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of
heaven?”
2 He called a little child to him, and placed the child
among them. 3 And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless
you change and become like little children, you will
never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore,
whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the
greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 18:5-7
5 And whoever welcomes one such child in my
name welcomes me.
6 “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those
who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for
them to have a large millstone hung around their
neck and to be drowned in the depths of the
sea. 7 Woe to the world because of the things that
cause people to stumble! Such things must come,
but woe to the person through whom they come!
Matthew 18:8-9
8 If your hand or your foot causes you to
stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for
you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two
hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal
fire. 9 And if your eye causes you to stumble, gouge
it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter
life with one eye than to have two eyes and be
thrown into the fire of hell.
I. Children Matter (v. 1-9)
• Innocence, Simplicity, Trust
• Easy to picture
• Children ARE the church, not the
future of the church.
CHILDREN = Jesus’ warning (v.5-9)
• Welcome them (v. 5)
• If you cause harm – WOE!
• The Passion of Jesus
• Take this seriously: cutoff / hell fire
Matthew 18:10-14
10 “See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For
I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of
my Father in heaven. 11 For the Son of Man came to seek
and to save the lost.
12 “What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and
one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine
on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered
off?13 And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about
that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not
wander off. 14 In the same way your Father in heaven is not
willing that any of these little ones should perish.
II. Lost Stuff,
People Matter (v.10-14)
• In the Kingdom – Never Lost
• The RISKY LOVE OF THE FATHER
• The Hopes, Dreams, Future, Potential
should never be lost!
Matthew 18:15-17
15 “If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their
fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you,
you have won them over. 16 But if they will not listen,
take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter
may be established by the testimony of two or three
witnesses.’ 17 If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the
church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church,
treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
Matthew 18:18-19
18 “Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will
be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on
earth will be loosed in heaven.”
19 “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth
agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for
them by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or
three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
III. Those Needing
Forgiveness (v. 15-19)
• “SINS” – not annoys, is difficult, or jerky
• Alone, one or two others, church
• If refuses…treat as pagan – Restorative
• Discipline = Restorative, not Punitive
TOGETHER
The Influence of The Kingdom
Your
words
Binding
Unity
& Loosing
of Purpose / Agreement
Welcoming
His Presence – 2 or 3
IV. In The Kingdom,
It’s Not About Me (v. 21-35)
• “How many times shall I forgive?”
• “MORE”! More than is “reasonable”
• It’s NOT about what you like or are
comfortable with!
Matthew 18:32-25
32 “Then the master called the servant in. ‘You
wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of
yours because you begged me to. 33 Shouldn’t you
have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had
on you?’ 34 In anger his master handed him over to
the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all
he owed.
35 “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of
you unless you forgive your brother or sister from
your heart.”
In The Kingdom: It’s about People
• Children
• Those who’ve lost their way
• Those who need to be forgiven
• Treat each one with regard
In LCC
• A Kingdom Approach: mission, people,
decisions, money, etc.
• How we treat people / children / youth
• How we deal with challenges
