Jeremy Utley - Surviving the Terrible Twos
Summary
The sermon centers on the profound privilege of 'receiving' Jesus, drawing parallels from Zacchaeus and Levi. The speaker emphasizes that the greatest opportunity to receive Christ is by receiving children in Jesus' name, which signifies living in the light of His mercy and welcome. This act is not based on obligation, personal connection, or mere compassion, but on recognizing the grace shown to us by Christ.

The sermon discusses two ways to receive Christ into one's life: by receiving an apostle, or by becoming like a little child. The speaker emphasizes that true conversion requires adopting the childlike qualities of helplessness, humility, and dependence on God, rather than self-sufficiency. Furthermore, the message extends to parents, urging them to receive their children in Jesus' name, accepting them unconditionally, and warning against causing their children to stumble through ungodly behavior.
