The fourth sermon in a sermon series on the First Letter of Paul to Timothy, 1 Timothy 1.17. Support the show

In this conversation Craig gets to visit with Dr. Brittany Wilson associate professor of New Testament at Duke University Divinity School about her book, Embodying God: Seeing the Divine in Luke-Acts and the Early Church, and the different ways that ways we can be enabled to consider the presence of God. One of the things that this book creates is a little bit of a conflict with the classic hymn, Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise. Rather we end up finding that God is not always so invisible. Relying on both in the Hebrew tradition that Luke leans on, as well as the way he uses language to describe the presence of Jesus in the Gospel of Luke and the way Jesus maintains his presence through the Holy Spirit in the Book of Acts.Along the way we pick up other ideas of how this book, and the ideas presented in it, can be helpful in congregational settings. We get a bit curious about whether or not the concept of God's embodiment plays out in charismatic churches. And conclude with a bit of conversation about the Durham Bulls minor League Baseball team.You can follow Professor Brittany Wilson's work at her faculty page at Duke divinity school: https://divinity.duke.edu/faculty/brittany-e-wilson

Pastor Tom Siefert brings the message, "God Only Wise." We live in a world that often appears chaotic, so even the experiences of our personal lives can seem pointless and random. The reality is that everything in the world and our lives is being guided by the wisdom of God. This gives us hope when things are confusing. Despite how it looks, God is working everything toward the design He has ordained.

If you are facing a difficulty you don't know how to bear, a decision you don't know how to make, or a complicated relationship you don't know how to navigate, what you're feeling is the need for wisdom. This simple yet profound passage is a great poetic hymn to wisdom, and it shows us that we can only find wisdom in God. In this sermon, we will see 1) The absolute importance of wisdom; 2) The only source of wisdom (God); and 3) How you can get wisdom. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on May 22, 2011. Series: To Know the Living God – The Adequacy of God. Scripture: Job 28:9-15; 20-28.

Mark Edwards is back with another episode as our Hymn Correspondent. Today, Mark speaks with us about the nature of worship and the hymns we sing to glorify God. He specifically analyzes the hymn IMMORTAL, INVISIBLE, GOD ONLY WISE.

In this morning's sermon text, Paul continues his contrast between the Old and New Covenants. Because of Jesus's coming, the veil that Moses used to hide the evidence of God's glory is removed (v. 16), and we can behold the glory face to face (v. 18). But we don't merely see it, we are transformed to be like it. This imagery of veils and faces can be found in many of the hymns we sing this morning. In the first half of the service, we confess that the Lord's glory is so bright, it must be “hid from our eyes” (Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise). Though we rest on His grace, at times “darkness veils His lovely face” (My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less). But we also look forward to Christ's coming in beauty, when “we His face shall see” (The King Shall Come When Morning Dawns). Receiving assurance that our sins are forgiven, we can “look full in His wonderful face,” making the cares and follies of this world grow “strangely dim” (Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus). We are invited to the table as a foretaste of the day when we will “stand in glory” face to face with our Savior (There Is A Redeemer), experiencing in full the “beauty of holiness” (The Voice Of The Lord Is Over The Waters—Psalm 29). Our service concludes with a vision of eternity, when we ascend to Heaven “on eagles' wings” (The God Of Abraham Praise). There we will “behold His face,” and join with the angels, archangels, and all the saints that precede us in death, singing “the wonders of His grace forever more.” —Henry C. Haffner & Emma Marsh Key Words: Face, Covenant, Spirit, Glory, Hope, Minds, Hearts, Moses, Christ Keystone Verse: And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit. (2 Corinthians 3:18) Bulletin 2 Corinthians 3:12-18 12 Since we have such a hope, we are very bold, 13 not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze at the outcome of what was being brought to an end. 14 But their minds were hardened. For to this day, when they read the old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken away. 15 Yes, to this day whenever Moses is read a veil lies over their hearts. 16 But when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

The feast of Epiphany (literally “appearance,” or “manifestation”) commemorates the visit of the wise men to the infant Jesus, and more broadly the revelation of Christ as “the true light” (John 1:9) and “a light for revelation to the gentiles” (Luke 2:32). Light is a consistent theme in traditional celebrations of Epiphany, and you'll find that this morning's service follows suit. The Scripture reading from Isaiah 60 declares that our light has come, and that nations will gather around to see it. The psalms remind us that “Light to the upright shall arise, though he in darkness be” (Alleluia! How Blest The Man—Psalm 112), and encourage us to turn our eyes “to eternal light” (I Will Lift My Voice—Psalm 101). We confess that Jesus is the “Light of the anxious heart” and the "Light of light, light's living spring," who shines brighter than “all the twinkling starry host” (Light Of The Anxious Heart; O Splendor Of God's Glory Bright; Fairest Lord Jesus). The King Shall Come describes both Jesus' first and second comings as days when “light triumphant breaks.” The service concludes with Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise, which ascribes praise to the “Great Father of Light.” There's always a bit of uncertainty as we head into a new year: let's look to the Savior who “dispels with glorious splendor the darkness everywhere.” —Henry C. Haffner Key Words: Nazareth, Fulfilled, Galilee, Dream, Prophets, Joseph, Child Keystone Verse: And he went and lived in a city called Nazareth, that what was spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled, that He would be called a Nazarene.” (Matthew 2:23) Matthew 2:19-23 But when Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,20 saying, “Rise, take the Child and His mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the child's life are dead.” 21 And he rose and took the Child and His mother and went to the land of Israel. 22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there, and being warned in a dream he withdrew to the district of Galilee.23 And he went and lived in a city called Nazareth, so that what was spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled, that He would be called a Nazarene.

“Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen” This verse in 1 Timothy 1:7 is the inspiration for the title and opening line of the hymn of adoration "Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise," by William Chalmers Smith. Join me to learn more about how this hymn came to be and the richness of theology and doctrine bursting from every line. 1.

268. God Calling Yet 284. Send the Light 315. Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise

Scotland has been a great source of hymns and poetry. One such hymnist was Walter Chalmers Smith, author of the powerful hymn Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise. He served in a variety of pastorates, finally serving in the Free High Church (Presbyterian) of Edinburgh. The powerful words to this song are carried by an equally powerful Welsh melody (staying in the Celtic family). Article taken from Then Sings My Soul, Volumes 1 & 2 by Robert J. Morgan.

Liturgical Date: Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 21B) Calendar Date: September 26, 2021 Location: Our Savior, Milford, IL Order of Service: Matins Hymns: #802, "Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise" #681, "Send, O Lord, Your Holy Spirit" #922, "Go, My Children, with My Blessing" Sermon Theme: Jealousy All Around Sermon Text: Numbers 11 Other Lectionary Readings: Psalm 104:27-35 James 5:13-20 Mark 9:38-50

In Habakkuk 2, the Lord responds to the prophet's questions with a harrowing description of the judgement He is preparing for Babylon. This passage gives us a picture of God as our judge, lawgiver, and king (Isaiah 33:22), imagery which you'll find throughout our service this morning. The Call to Worship from Psalm 50 portrays the Lord surrounded by fire and tempest, calling throughout the heavens and earth for the people to stand before Him. The sun, moon, and stars give Him praise (From Heav'n O Praise The Lord—Psalm 148), just as Habakkuk 2:14 declares that “the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.” He sends forth lightning like arrows and causes mountains to smoke and flame (Blest Be The Lord, My Rock, My Might—Psalm 144). He gives life to all things, but while they wither and perish, nothing changes Him (Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise). He is a righteous judge who makes perfect justice known (O Lord Most High—Psalm 9), and we ask for Him to vindicate us before our enemies (Be My Contender In The Strife—Psalm 35). The earth, the heavens, and every creature will acknowledge Him as “omnipotent king” (The Lord Is King). Faced with God's greatness, holiness, and justice, we respond in two ways: we approach with fear and trembling (Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence), and we bow in humble adoration, proclaiming, “my God, how great Thou art.” —Henry C. Haffner Key Words: Watchpost, Answered, Faith, Woe, Holy, Silence Keystone Verses: The Lord is in His holy temple; let the earth keep silence before Him. (Habakkuk 2:20) Bulletin Habakkuk 2:1-20 I will take my stand at my watchpost and station myself on the tower, and look out to see what he will say to me, and what I will answer concerning my complaint. 2 And the Lord answered me: “Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. 3 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. 4 “Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him, but the righteous shall live by his faith. 5 “Moreover, wine is a traitor, an arrogant man who is never at rest. His greed is as wide as Sheol; like death he has never enough. He gathers for himself all nations and collects as his own all peoples.” 6 Shall not all these take up their taunt against him, with scoffing and riddles for him, and say, “Woe to him who heaps up what is not his own— for how long?—and loads himself with pledges!” 7 Will not your debtors suddenly arise, and those awake who will make you tremble? Then you will be spoil for them. 8 Because you have plundered many nations, all the remnant of the peoples shall plunder you, for the blood of man and violence to the earth, to cities and all who dwell in them. 9 “Woe to him who gets evil gain for his house, to set his nest on high, to be safe from the reach of harm! 10 You have devised shame for your house by cutting off many peoples; you have forfeited your life. 11 For the stone will cry out from the wall, and the beam from the woodwork respond. 12 “Woe to him who builds a town with blood and founds a city on iniquity! 13 Behold, is it not from the Lord of hosts that peoples labor merely for fire, and nations weary themselves for nothing? 14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. 15 “Woe to him who makes his neighbors drink— you pour out your wrath and make them drunk, in order to gaze at their nakedness! 16 You will have your fill of shame instead of glory. Drink, yourself, and show your uncircumcision! The cup in the Lord's right hand will come around to you, and utter shame will come upon your glory! 17 The violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you, as will the destruction of the beasts that terrified them, for the blood of man and violence to the earth, to cities and all who dwell in them. 18 “What profit is an idol when its maker has shaped it, a metal image, a teacher of lies? For its maker trusts in his own creation when he makes speechless idols! 19 Woe to him who says to a wooden thing, Awake; to a silent stone, Arise! Can this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in it. 20 But the Lord is in His holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before Him.”

Sermon Title: Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise Sermon Series: 1 Timothy Sermon Text: 1 Timothy 1:12-17 Sermon Date: January 10, 2021 Preacher: Rev. Jonathan Foster

God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. —1 John 1:5 Light has been a consistent motive found in Christmas celebrations throughout history. From the legend of St. Lucy's candle headdress which enlivens the winter solstice in Scandinavia, to the “star singer” processions of central Europe where children re-enact the visit of the Magi while singing hymns, these images remind us that Christ came into the world as “the true light” (John 1:9) and “a light for revelation to the gentiles” (Luke 2:32). On this Epiphany Sunday (the last of the traditional twelve days of Christmas), many of our hymns reflect these themes as well. The “sages” in Angels From The Realms Of Glory are the “wise men from the east” of Matthew 2:1-12, who follow the “natal star” to “brighter visions” of the “desire of nations.” Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise describes God as the “Father of Light,” while Psalm 50 declares that He shows His glory “in brightness that excels.” The communion hymn The King Shall Come describes both Jesus' first and second comings as days when “light triumphant breaks.” Even our sermon text from Psalm 29 (which we will sing later in the service) refers to the voice of the Lord “flash[ing] forth flames of fire.” As we leave worship this morning, let's take as our prayer the words of As With Gladness Men Of Old: just as the wise men hailed the guiding light of the star to Bethlehem, “so, most gracious Lord, may we ever more be led to Thee.” —Henry C. Haffner Key Words: Lord, Voice, Glory, Strength, Bless, Holiness, Ascribe, Enthroned Keystone Verse: Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name; worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness. (Psalm 29:2)   Psalm 29:1-11 Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. 2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name; worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness. 3 The voice of the Lord is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the Lord, over many waters. 4 The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty. 5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars; the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon. 6 He makes Lebanon to skip like a calf, and Sirion like a young wild ox. 7 The voice of the Lord flashes forth flames of fire.8 The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness; the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh. 9 The voice of the Lord makes the deer give birth and strips the forests bare, and in His temple all cry, “Glory!” 10 The Lord sits enthroned over the flood; the Lord sits enthroned as king forever. 11 May the Lord give strength to His people! May the Lord bless His people with peace!

God's Word gives us an amazing array of statements about the love of God. “Nothing in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus.” God is “keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations.” Jesus tells us several parables trying to convey that this love is the greatest of treasures in all the world. He wants us to embrace the idea that God's love is the most vital thing for each of us. It makes an eternal and infinite difference in every way and in everything. The first and second hymn is LSB 686, “Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing”. The third and fourth hymn is LSB 802, “Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise”. If you have a Lutheran Service Book Hymnal at home, please sing along.

The wisdom and the knowledge of God are not exactly the same characteristic, but are related.  God's knowledge is "that perfection of God whereby He . . . knows Himself and all things possible and actual . . . ." (L. Berkhof, Systematic Theology, 66).  God's wisdom is "that perfection of God whereby He applies His knowledge to the attainment of His ends in a way which glorifies Him most" (Berkhof, Theology, 69). "Let the name of God be blessed forever and ever; for wisdom and power belong to Him" (Dan 2:20).  It is an amazing thing to think about the blending of God's attributes.  God applies His perfect knowledge, by His unlimited power and His glorious sovereignty, to His creation in order to demonstrate His unsearchable wisdom and to attain the goals established by His holy will. God's wisdom is on display in creation.  In Psalm 104, after describing the wonders of the earth and the universe, the Psalmist exclaims, "O LORD, how manifold are your works" (Psa 104:24). God's wisdom is on display in the redemption of Christians.  "In him [Christ] we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight" (Eph 1:7,8). Let our response to God's matchless wisdom be the response of the Psalmist … "May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in his works . . . I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have being" (Psa 104:31,33).
