   Passing The Divine Audit | Fidelity Investing

   What if God conducted an audit of your life today? CrossWay Church kicks off a brand new four-week series, Fidelity Investing. Fidelity means faithfulness, loyalty, and steadfast devotion, and the goal of this series is simple: to reflect God's generosity in how we live. God isn't auditing how much we have. He is examining how faithfully we handle what He has entrusted to us. In this Watch & Learn message, Macky walks through the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25, unpacking what it means to be a household manager rather than an owner, why one talent was a small fortune, and why the master's response to the buried talent was so severe. Along the way he looks at David's offering for the temple, the generous church in Acts, Felix putting off conviction until a "convenient" time, and the three half truths that keep us from investing faithfully: I don't have time, I don't have enough money, and I don't have the talent. I will claim stewardship rather than ownership. I will focus on capitalizing rather than comparing. I will determine to obey rather than delay. I will expect accountability rather than absolution. I will see relationship rather than requirement. My inability to do everything is never an excuse to do nothing. Scripture Focus: Matthew 25:14-30, 1 Corinthians 4:2, Deuteronomy 10:14, 1 Chronicles 29:14, Acts 4:32-34, 1 Peter 4:10, Acts 24:24-25, 2 Corinthians 5:10, Revelation 22:12-14, Luke 16:10-11 Speaker: Macky Shedd Topics: Stewardship - Generosity - Faithfulness - Parable of the Talents - Accountability - Obedience - Time, Talent, and Treasure Sermon Notes: https://crosswaycolumbia.com/sermons/passing-the-divine-audit/ CrossWay Church — Columbia, Missouri Join us Sundays at 10:00 AM, 7201 S Olivet Rd https://crosswaycolumbia.com Chapters 00:00 Welcome 00:40 A Brand New Series: Fidelity Investing 02:35 When Money Creeps Into God's Territory 03:32 What If God Audited Your Life? 05:23 God Examines Faithfulness, Not Amounts 06:27 What Fidelity Means 07:57 High Fidelity: Reflecting God's Generosity 08:56 Given a Trust (1 Corinthians 4:2) 11:32 Household Manager, Not Owner 12:55 Point 1 — Claim Stewardship Rather Than Ownership 14:34 He Owns Everything (Deuteronomy 10:14) 15:39 Questioning Why God Is the Way He Is 18:46 The Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30) 22:29 He Entrusted His Possessions (Matthew 25:14) 23:26 David's Offering for the Temple (1 Chronicles 29) 25:21 Everything Comes From You (1 Chronicles 29:14) 26:56 An Open House That Isn't Mine 28:31 Ownership Questions vs. Stewardship Questions 29:07 No Needy Persons Among Them (Acts 4:32-34) 30:17 The Delivery Driver Who Kept the Package 31:23 Point 2 — Focus on Capitalizing Rather Than Comparing 32:58 The Danger of Comparison (Matthew 25:15) 34:20 What Is a Talent? 23 Years of Wages 36:20 Sitting on a Small Fortune 38:10 Faithful Stewards of God's Grace (1 Peter 4:10) 39:52 Point 3 — Determine to Obey Rather Than Delay (Matthew 25:16-17) 41:16 The Seed on the Path 42:14 Well Done, Good and Faithful Servant (Matthew 25:21) 43:13 Don't Hoard Your Christianity 43:53 From Introvert to Preacher 45:14 Felix: When I Find It Convenient (Acts 24:24-25) 47:51 Point 4 — Expect Accountability Rather Than Absolution 49:06 The Accounts Will Be Settled (Matthew 25:19; 2 Corinthians 5:10) 49:56 Grace and the Danger of a Hardened Heart 52:11 My Reward Is With Me (Revelation 22:12-14) 53:33 Lord, Not Just Savior 54:31 Mine, Mine, Mine: Taking the Place of God 55:43 Point 5 — See Relationship Rather Than Requirement (Matthew 25:20-30) 58:18 The Opposite of Love Is Apathy 1:01:39 Fear, Resentment, and a Broken Relationship 1:02:48 What Unmet Expectation Does God Have for Me? 1:04:30 Faithful in Little Things (Luke 16:10-11) 1:05:01 Half Truths, Whole Lies: Time, Money, Talent 1:10:01 Three Questions: Time, Talent, Treasure 1:11:00 Closing Prayer

   Equipped To Keep On Keeping On | Faithful

   What do you do when you look at the scoreboard of your life and don't know how to keep going? We finish the book of Hebrews this week, and with it our year-long Faithful series. The Hebrew writer didn't hand a group of persecuted Christians a theological textbook or a "just keep going" pep talk. He prayed that God would equip them with everything good for doing His will, and then he showed them the next steps to take, one play at a time. In this Faithful message, Macky walks through Hebrews 13 and the four practical steps that help us stay the course and remain faithful when life feels like it's slipping away. I will love people with purpose and pathos, and I won't allow my burdens to make me blind to others. I will protect my purity and cultivate my contentment, and I won't let a moment of "more" leave me with a life of less. I will emulate godly examples and submit to my shepherds, following faithful footsteps and welcoming wise warnings. I will praise God with my words and my works, offering myself as a living sacrifice that stays on the altar. If I don't know how to keep going, God tells me what to keep doing. Scripture Focus: Hebrews 13:1-21, Hebrews 12:1, Hebrews 10:23, Philippians 2:3-5, Romans 12:9-15, Ecclesiastes 6:9, Proverbs 5:15-20, 1 Timothy 6:6-10, Philippians 4:11-13, 1 Corinthians 11:1, Amos 5:21-24, Romans 12:1 Speaker: Macky Shedd Topics: Faithfulness - Perseverance - Hospitality - Empathy - Contentment - Purity - Marriage - Money - Spiritual Leadership - Worship Sermon Notes: https://crosswaycolumbia.com/sermons/equipped-to-keep-on-keeping-on/ CrossWay Church — Columbia, Missouri Join us Sundays at 10:00 AM, 7201 S Olivet Rd https://crosswaycolumbia.com Chapters 00:00 Welcome & Celebrating Dax's New Life in Christ 01:10 The Final Chapter of Hebrews: Our Year of Faithful 02:10 Looking Back: Jesus Is Greater (Hebrews 1-10) 04:32 Heroes of the Faith and the Author of Our Faith (Hebrews 11-12) 05:59 Advice That's True but Useless 07:44 A Goal vs. a Path to the Goal 09:08 Saban's Lesson: Don't Look at the Scoreboard 11:27 The Prayer: Equipped to Do His Will (Hebrews 13:20-21) 12:42 If I Don't Know How to Keep Going, God Tells Me What to Keep Doing 14:42 Run the Race Marked Out for Us (Hebrews 12:1) 16:08 Point 1 — Love People with Purpose and Pathos (Hebrews 13:1-3) 17:38 Stop Looking at the Scoreboard, Start Looking at People 18:36 26 Years of Marriage: Look Outward, Not Inward 22:04 Philadelphia and Philoxenia: Loving Strangers Like Family 23:01 Entertaining vs. Hospitality 25:15 Remember the Imprisoned and Mistreated: Empathy 26:02 Why Churches Are Dying 27:21 We Don't Play Church, We Are the Church 27:52 Why We Struggle: Trust, Self-Reliance, and Selfishness 29:19 Think of Others as Better Than Yourself (Philippians 2:3-5) 30:19 "You Feed Them" (Feeding the 5,000) 33:15 Sincere Love: Without Wax (Romans 12:9-15) 36:09 I Won't Allow My Burdens to Make Me Blind to Others 37:26 Point 2 — Protect My Purity and Cultivate My Contentment 38:25 Looking for Relief in the Wrong Places 39:48 Marriage and Money (Hebrews 13:4-6) 41:28 What God Calls Precious vs. Common 42:27 It's All About Contentment (Ecclesiastes 6:9) 43:19 How Discontentment Leads to an Affair 44:29 Drink from Your Own Cistern (Proverbs 5:15-20) 46:20 The Love of Money (1 Timothy 6:6-10) 47:38 The Secret of Contentment (Philippians 4:11-13) 48:18 A Moment of More, a Life of Less 50:15 Point 3 — Emulate Godly Examples and Submit to My Shepherds 51:49 Imitate Their Faith (Hebrews 13:7-9; 1 Corinthians 11:1) 53:11 Going to Jesus Outside the Camp (Hebrews 13:12-14) 54:53 The S Word: Submit (Hebrews 13:17) 56:07 Follow Faithful Footsteps, Welcome Wise Warnings 57:56 Point 4 — Praise God with My Words and My Works (Hebrews 13:15-16) 58:56 Let Justice Roll Like a River (Amos 5:21-24) 1:01:38 A Living Sacrifice (Romans 12:1) 1:03:05 He Who Promised Is Faithful (Hebrews 10:23) 1:03:47 Closing Prayer

   How to Avoid Bad Trades | Faithful

   Is what you're getting worth what you're giving up? Every day we make trades with our time, money, attention, and energy, and some of the worst trades never look like bad trades at all. Picking back up in Hebrews 12, we look at Esau, who traded his birthright for a single bowl of stew, and at Jesus, who made the greatest exchange of all for us. In this message from our Faithful series, Macky walks through Hebrews 12:14-29 and four ways to avoid bad trades and stay faithful the way God is faithful to us: I will pursue peace without compromising my convictions. I will give grace without my bitterness blooming. I will cherish covenant without chasing my cravings. I will grow in my gratitude without refusing revelation. Don't trade away what Jesus paid so dearly for you to have. Scripture Focus: Hebrews 12:14-29, Hebrews 12:2-3, 2 Corinthians 8:9, Romans 1:25, Hebrews 11:24-26, Matthew 5:9, Romans 12:18, Proverbs 26:20-21, Jeremiah 8:11, Galatians 1:10, Deuteronomy 29:18, Hebrews 3:12-13, Genesis 25:29-34, Mark 10:28-30, Haggai 2:6, Luke 17:11-19 Speaker: Macky Shedd Topics: Faithfulness - Peace - Holiness - Grace - Bitterness - Forgiveness - Temptation - Esau - Gratitude - Obedience Sermon Notes: https://crosswaycolumbia.com/sermons/how-to-avoid-bad-trades/ (https://crosswaycolumbia.com/sermons/how-to-avoid-bad-trades/) CrossWay Church — Columbia, Missouri Join us Sundays at 10:00 AM, 7201 S Olivet Rd https://crosswaycolumbia.com (https://crosswaycolumbia.com) Chapters 00:00 Welcome & Good Morning 00:36 Celebrating Reed's Baptism 02:42 A Year of Faithful (Hebrews 10:23) 05:03 Back to Hebrews 12: Ever Made a Bad Trade? 07:52 Is What I'm Getting Worth What I'm Giving Up? 08:22 Jesus and the Great Exchange (Hebrews 12:2-3) 10:16 Rich Became Poor for Us (2 Corinthians 8:9) 11:17 Trading the Truth for a Lie (Romans 1:25) 12:12 Moses Chose Greater Value (Hebrews 11:24-26) 13:59 Esau: One of the Worst Trades in Scripture (Hebrews 12:16) 14:59 Point 1 — Pursue Peace Without Compromising My Convictions 15:29 Satan's Trade in the Garden (Genesis 3) 17:26 Peace and Holiness Together (Hebrews 12:14) 18:24 Two Bad Trades: Peace for Pride, Holiness for Approval 20:59 Peacemakers, Not Peacekeepers (Matthew 5:9) 22:15 Stewers and Spewers 23:11 Winning the Argument, Losing the Person 24:22 Never Make Peace with Sin 24:56 As Far as It Depends on You (Romans 12:18) 25:48 Don't Be a Fire Stoker (Proverbs 26:20-21) 26:48 Peace, Peace When There Is No Peace (Jeremiah 8:11) 27:59 Pleasing God, Not People (Galatians 1:10) 28:55 I Won't Trade My Holiness for Harmony 29:24 Point 2 — Give Grace Without My Bitterness Blooming (Hebrews 12:15) 30:20 Bitterness Rarely Stays Where It Starts 32:00 The Bitter Root (Deuteronomy 29:18) 33:58 See to It: Encourage One Another Daily (Hebrews 3:12-13) 36:05 Seeing to It in Small Groups 38:03 I Won't Trade My Freedom for My Right to Stay Furious 39:15 Forgiveness, Repentance & the Prodigal Son 40:58 What Grace Looks Like 42:00 Point 3 — Cherish Covenant Without Chasing My Cravings (Hebrews 12:16-17) 46:22 Esau Sells His Birthright (Genesis 25:29-34) 48:21 The Covenant Birthright (Deuteronomy 21:17) 50:19 Mount Sinai vs. Mount Zion (Hebrews 12:18-24) 54:22 What's Your Bowl of Stew? 55:35 Leaving Everything to Follow Jesus (Mark 10:28-30) 57:26 I Won't Trade My Inheritance for My Indulgence 58:54 Point 4 — Grow in Gratitude Without Refusing Revelation 59:23 Don't Refuse Him Who Speaks (Hebrews 12:25-29) 1:02:18 The Unshakable Kingdom (Haggai 2:6) 1:03:18 Biblical Gratitude Is More Than a Feeling 1:04:16 The One Leper Who Returned (Luke 17:11-19) 1:06:08 I Won't Trade the Unshakable for Things That Can Shake 1:07:03 Closing Prayer
