Pete Scazzero Sermons: Recent Episodes
Pete Scazzero
Many of us have come to believe that the Christian life is synonymous with constant happiness. We think we're on the right track if the trajectory of our lives is "up and to the right" - always improving, always leveling up. But this way of thinking leaves little room for grief and sadness. When we experience real loss, we see it as an abnormal alien invasion, not as a divine invitation. And yet, Jesus shows us that to welcome and hold sorrow before God is central to our leadership and discipleship. In today's podcast episode, I share the importance of finding the treasure buried in grief and loss, and how we can train other leaders to do the same. I encourage you to watch our full training video online in our Leader's Training Vault. It's completely free and only takes one minute to register. For now, you can listen to today's episode here...
Many leaders today believe that if we're going to get things done and be successful, we must "take the bull by the horns". We are told that strength and power win in the economy of leadership.
So when Jesus boldly announces "Blessed are the Meek", it's no wonder that many of us shrug our shoulders and keep plowing ahead.
In today's podcast, I share a sermon that explores the depth underneath Jesus' words as he invited us into a life marked by meekness.
In this message, Pastor Pete takes a look at this passage describing the massive defection of many “disciples” (except for the 12). We learn from this passage about the nature of discipleship – that of Jesus freeing us for a glorious future by stripping us of our limited ideas of him that are filled with our own projections and illusions.
In this message, Pete explores the unimaginable reality, and beauty, of our crucified God who frees us from demonic powers and sin, and longs for us to draw near to him. Pete applies this specifically to an invitation from God to quit rushing and to quit judging others – two tactics of the Evil One to cut us off from Him .
