FAITH AND HOPE AND TINEKE Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance (hypostasis – the abiding basic reality) of things (pragma – work and business of God) hoped for, the evidence of things not seen…. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.  Faith is abiding in the supernatural work of God doing his will for us in the world of the unseen in the things we hope for - and the assurance of his perfect will coming to pass. In that faith we surrender our will for us to his will for us. Faith is completed in observing the event that comes to pass in God's sovereign will. When we observe the event we give thanks, and we receive more understanding of who God is. But what we pray to happen may not happen in the way we had first hoped it would. Jesus said ‘If there be any other way, take this cup of suffering from me nevertheless not my will but thine be done' Hope is the ongoing trust in the eventuality of God's perfect will being accomplished in his way and in his time for our prayer. It sits in the middle of our desire and God's will and his timing. Tineke and I lived in that hope. The Holy Spirit bears witness to our spirit when we receive his gift of faith and it bears witness to our spirit for our hope. We had a witness of hope. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. The bible speaks of the people of faith in Hebrews 11 who died with the testimony of faith without receiving the promise. The completion of faith is the event of a promise. the completion of hope is the eventuality of a promise. The promise is always the perfect will of God for which we give thanks. We just read that the first experience of faith that God offers to us is about his creation of the world through his word. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God The word for ‘understand' in that verse is noe?? which means to observe and comprehend and be assured of that event. Most people observe and are in awe of the order and beauty of the universe and they attribute that wonder to a theory called evolution, but some receive a revelation by faith and observe and are in awe of the order and beauty of the universe that has been uttered into existence by God's Word.  I wont be speaking at the funeral of course so I'd like to share some things about Tneke and me now. The way I came to have that faith in God's creation was a long and winding road. It started when I met Tineke when she was a university student working as an assistant in a pharmacy during the holidays, and the owner of the pharmacy asked me to come and do a locum for him so he could go skiing. It happened that I was also at the same university as her, having gone back to uni to study medicine and so we continued the relationship from that time on, and then I was introduced to her family and I became a semi-permanent fixture at her home. I also decided to forget about doing medicine – another future had walked into my life. Tineke's mother Martha was a devoted Christian, and Martha was wary of this catholic university student who believed in evolution, which you had to do to pass the exams, and it was inconsequential to me at that time. But I remember the day years later, after I received a revelation of who Jesus was as my saviour and I read that verse about understanding that the worlds were framed by the word of God and it was a total and complete reality to me and I wondered what I had been thinking all my life. Martha and I got to love one another and lo and behold I ended up becoming her pastor at our church, Northern beaches Christian Centre. I was now living by faith – the faith that said that God was always working his will into our lives for our good in the world of the unseen. Then I realised that my faith was nothing but the abiding under the supernatural work of God for everything I could ever hope for in my life. That meant that I learned to live with the hope of the glory of God, as the Bible says, ‘we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. (Romans 5:2). The hope of the glory of God simply means living in the expectation of God being on display in our lives as we entrust everything to him to bring his will to pass in his way and in his time – that is a living hope, and that is what Tineke lived within over these last six months. But the next experience of faith that the Bible speaks about after creation is that of the faith of Abel – that is the faith I saw in Tineke's life and that is what I would like to share with you. By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks. (verse 4) The faith of Abel was that he wanted to please God and so he offered a more excellent sacrifice to God than his brother. His willingness to let his life be a sacrificial offering to God was what I saw in the mind and heart of Tineke's soul as she sacrificially gave her life in lovingly serving God in serving her family and those outside her family that God had placed in her life to care for. And through that humble submission to God's will, Tineke being dead still speaks - and there are others from amongst us here who have gone to be with the Lord, and I believe their faith still speaks. At one stage I thought I had faith for her healing because of other Scriptures that spoke about healing and for which I asked for confirmation - and circumstances came about that appeared to suggest confirmation, but what truly remained as a witness in my spirit was hope and not a promise of faith that I could proclaim. Tineke suffered the ravages ofa dreadful disease and it was predicted that the immunotherapy would weaken her to the extent that it would not be tolerable but she struggled with an astounding courage but then a rogue infection hit her which was not discovered in time and her body could not withstand it. We sat with her as she took her last breath listening to a most special spiritual song that she had told lucy she wanted for her funeral. I had not been aware of that. The word that Tineke and I lived within and had agreement on was the word of hope that we held onto without wavering. Our hope remained in our trust in the goodness of God to be revealed in his way and in his time – and we left that in his hands  Tineke, being dead still speaks. Tineke's faith still speaks to me. It was over three years ago that I shared a vision that I had to bring understanding to people of the truth of the salvation of the soul receiving the goal of our faith, the salvation of the soul (1Peter 1:9). Tineke joined me in putting together of that vision of the healing and salvation of the soul and we shared in the Scriptures together and I attempted to put so many Scriptures together that came cascading upon each other and it became difficult for me to know where to start and how to end and what to put in the middle. Tineke called it a blueprint but she knew it had to be ordered and structured and presented in a way that could be received and understood.  Then one day Tineke read a verse from Habakkuk to me that The Lord had given her about our vision together for this. Habakkuk 2:2 Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay. Tineke helped me make the vision plain and to put the words in order and sequence so that people would understand it. It took about three years and I could not have done it without her and we were at the beginning of running it as a course so that people who heard it could run with it. Scott Kardash with his gift of knowledge of the word and his computer tech skills worked tirelessly with me to present it as a group discussion and I began to share it in Scott and Lisa's home to her home group. Then Tineke became critically ill – and now she is gone. It is as if Tineke and I were driving a beautiful car together when all of a sudden the wheels of the car fell off and Tineke was no longer there. And that is where I am now, and I am asking God what to do. But then I remembered the Scriptures that God gave to Tineke… For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay. I don't know how I am going to do that as I feel empty of all energy and motivation but I know the grace of God will become my sufficiency and if it seems slow I will wait for it for it will surely come, it will not delay. Tineke being dead still speaks from that Scripture and I believe she would also like me to put the wheels back on that car and get back on track. And that gives me faith that God will speak, and I will hear him. Paul Sullivan - pauloss@me.com

A sermon from Redemption City Church's series on the book of 1 Peter

Preached on Sunday the 24th August, 2025.‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭“So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory. Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.””Intro Music by Julius H. from Pixabay Outro Music by PianoAmor from Pixabay

Today’s Bible Verse: “Give all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you" - 1 Peter 5:7 Life has a way of piling up worries—big and small. But in 1 Peter 5:7, we’re reminded that God doesn’t ask us to carry them alone. He invites us to place every fear, burden, and anxious thought into His capable hands. His care is personal, constant, and unwavering. When we let go and trust Him, we discover peace that replaces fear and strength that carries us forward. “Want to listen without ads?

Pastor Ray Bentley says, we need to remember we're on the winning side in spiritual warfare. There are times when you get intimidated by overemphasis izing the enemy. Rather than emphasizing the greatness of our God, the greatness of our Savior, the greatness of the power of the Holy Spirit. We don't stand against Ray Bentley, against the devil. You laugh.

Join us as Trenton finishes our sermon series on the book of 1 Peter. 

Pastor Ray Bentley has important information for all of us last days believers. The enemy is pulling out all the stops. He wants to keep people from looking for, naming or calling upon the name of Jesus. But here's the good news. First, John chapter two says we have an advocate before the father. That word advocate means we have a lawyer.

As we begin our study of 1 Peter, Peter urges us to remember the Lord, live as His people, and trust the hope that will never disappoint.

We are like sheep. Jesus is the shepherd. Pastor Ray Bentley explains why every single one of us was like a string lost sheep. And yet Jesus left the beauty and the perfection and the glories of Paradise and of heaven came into the wilderness. And he found us, and the idea with the shepherd would grab you and pick you up and lift you upon his shoulders, and literally carry you back to the fold.

“Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your family of believers all over the world is going through the same kind of suffering you are.” (1 Peter 5:8­–9 NLT) Often after great victories, the greatest challenges and temptations of the Christian life will come. I have found that after great blessings in my life, after God works in a powerful way, the devil will be there to challenge it. Think about it. After God had powerfully worked through Elijah on Mount Carmel, the prophet became so discouraged that he wanted to die. After Jesus was transfigured, He came down from the mountain to find a demon-possessed person waiting for Him. After Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River, after the Holy Spirit came upon Him in the form of a dove, and after God said, “This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy” (Matthew 3:17 NLT), Jesus was led into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. After the dove came the devil. The devil will always be there to challenge whatever God has done. It may come after church, after God has blessed you and spoken to you. You may leave the parking lot and get hit with a heavy-duty temptation. That’s the devil’s way. He wants to make your life miserable. Most importantly, he wants to steal anything that God has done in your life. That’s why you need to heed the warning of the apostle Peter in 1 Peter 5:8–9 above. You need to stay alert to the devil’s schemes in all settings, in good times and bad. You can’t afford to make the mistake of thinking you can anticipate the devil’s every move. You can certainly anticipate some. If you have self-awareness, you know your areas of vulnerability. You’re all too familiar with the temptations that have worked against you in the past. So, in spiritual battle, you’re likely to be hyper-attuned to them and (understandably) diligent about protecting yourself from them. But when those battles are over, and you walk away victorious, Peter’s warning in 1 Peter 5:8 still applies. “Stay alert!” (NLT). Because if the devil can’t get you to give in to temptation, he may be able to get you to overinflate your ego as you enjoy your victory. Pride can be just as enticing as sexual sin. If you start to believe that you deserve more credit, more followers, or more acknowledgment for your spiritual maturity and good deeds, the devil’s got you just where he wants you. Anything that weakens your faith or testimony is a battle victory for him. The same goes for every other believer in the arena, doing battle with the devil. That’s why it’s always a good battle strategy to pray for any person whom you know God is using. The more you step out to be used by the Lord, the more you can expect opposition from the devil. Reflection question: What are some hidden areas of vulnerability, especially when things are going well, that the devil might exploit in your life?

True leadership isn't about titles—it's about the posture of your heart. Every one of us has a “table” of influence, whether at home, work, school, or church. In 1 Peter 5:1–4, we see that leadership in God's Kingdom flows from humility, not hierarchy—choosing to kneel before we lead, just as Jesus did when He chose the towel over the throne.In this message, we'll uncover how gospel-shaped leaders pour out rather than puff up, and lift others instead of lording over them. You'll be challenged to consider who's sitting at your table, who's watching your life, and how your influence can reflect the Chief Shepherd more clearly in every sphere of your life.

1 Peter - Clarity in the Fire | Standing Firm Together | Pastor Ian Gilchrist

In this final message from 1 Peter, Grace for the Battle, we see Peter's call to shepherd God's flock, live in humility, resist the devil, and rest in the grace of God. Our struggles are real, but so is our hope—rooted in the God of all grace who will Himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish His people.
