In today's sermon, Pastor Ben Nistor preaches on Isaiah 40: 1-31. In this passage, Israel is facing a time of great difficulty after sinning and turning from the Lord to worship idols. As a result, the Lord's judgment comes against Israel through the kingdom of Babylon. Babylon destroys Israel and hauls off the people to captivity. In response, Isaiah brings a word of comfort and hope to Israel. God promises to comfort his people by giving them the reminder of his greatness. This passage gives believers in Christ a proper response in times of darkness or discouragement as well. We see in Isaiah 40: 21--“Have you not known? Have you not heard?” A proper theology of God is crucial in times of difficulty. God is not too great to CARE and God is TOO GREAT to fail. We must trust him so that he can renew us with strength and fill us with hope (vv 30–31). Whether we struggle with sins or the circumstances of life, our strength and hope come from OUR GREAT GOD! ________________________________________ Links to Sermon Notes & Answers: ➤Sermon Notes (Blank): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_aa5a8b847a9e494d840a269b87ac0a85.pdf ➤Sermon Notes (Answers): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_f6e0c0b127ce426f849714df62a9094c.pdf ________________________________________ In this video: 3 Voices of Comfort Our Great God ________________________________________ Subscribe to this channel to catch weekly expositional sermons from the Bible. ________________________________________ Explore more sermons and information: https://www.sheridanhills.org/watch-new ________________________________________ Follow us: ➤Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sheridanhills/ ➤Twitter: https://twitter.com/sheridanhills01 ➤Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sheridanhills/

Title: Hope and Holiness Text: I Peter 1:13-16 FCF: We often struggle enduring persecution. Prop: Because our Great God is at the center of our Great Salvation, we must set our hope in future grace and be holy in our present place. Scripture Intro: [Slide 1] Turn in your bible to I Peter chapter 1. It never ceases to amaze me how deep and rich the word of God truly is. Not only is the depth of its teachings unsearchable and inexhaustible, but they are readily applicable to life. There are few weeks where something doesn't come up privately in my own life, in the news, in the greater Christendom, or even in our area that connects with the passage of scripture I am studying at the time. That is why when some ask me what my favorite passage of scripture is – it is usually the one I am studying at the time. The apostle Peter began his letter with his head in the clouds. He spoke of the greatness of our God and His centrality to our Salvation. But what is the purpose of all this theological talk? Was it simply to remind his audience that this was all true? Or was there a greater purpose? Peter is now going to shift to applying all that he has been saying since the beginning. He will use the great theological truths of God's centrality to our salvation as a springboard to command his audience to hope and to holiness. I am reading from the ESV today but you can follow along in the pew bible on page 1364. I'll start reading in verse 13. Transition: This doesn't promise to be an overly long message. Only 4 verses to consider. But my oh my are there some big concepts here. Let's look together. I.) Our Great God is at the center of our Great Salvation, so we must hope in future grace given when Christ is revealed. (13) a. [Slide 2] 13 - Therefore, i. What Peter is about to say is predicated upon all that he has said up to this point. ii. It is prudent for us then, to go back and review what He has said up to now in the letter. iii. Peter's audience is under slanderous persecution because they have dared to break from their sinful past to follow Jesus. iv. Their former friends and family have begun to ridicule and become suspicious of them for their radical life-change. v. What is Peter's message of comfort to them? It is the GREAT salvation that they have received. vi. But what makes this salvation so great? Well, Peter has spent the last 11 verses highlighting the greatness of their salvation. 1. First, that their salvation's origin was in their God. They were chosen by Him according to His own predeterminate will by the Spirit's consecrating power to be pulled from the realm of darkness into the realm of light, so that they may obey the gospel and be washed clean by the blood of Christ. 2. Second, that their salvation's security is in their God. That Christ through His resurrection and ascension has secured for them a hope that will never die. That by God's enduring and unending power, He has supplied to them a faith that continues to hold fast. And that faith, given by God, exercised by His people, will become an enduring trophy to bring greater praise and honor to Christ when He is revealed, and is now accomplishing its purpose, namely, the salvation of our souls. 3. Third, that their salvation's mystery has been revealed to them by their God. Spoken of old in pieces and parts through the Holy Spirit, now God has revealed in full the redemption of His people both in the sufferings of Christ and His current glory. vii. So what makes this salvation so great? viii. It is fully and completely of God toward us! God has done it all! He created it, he sustains it, and He has revealed it to us. ix. Knowing all of this, Peter is ready to command his audience. x. As one commentator put it - “The imperatives of Christian living always begin with “therefore”” Clowney 1988 b. [Slide 3] Preparing your minds for action i. Before Peter gets to the command of this passage, he introduces that command with two participles. ii. The first would actually translate to “gird up the loins of your mind” iii. Which is an idiom to express the concept of getting ready to do something. Since they wore robes and flowing gowns, to gird up the loins would be to gather the robes so they could run without tripping. iv. The translators of the ESV do a good job untangling that idiom for us. v. However, this participle has an aspect that is undefined. What that means is that we probably cannot determine if this is a one-time activity or an ongoing activity. All we know is that it is something that is or was. vi. So, what is or was? Their minds prepared for action. vii. This is an intriguing idea. For us, the concept of the mind and action tend to be separate. What we think is not always what we do or say. To act, is not always in conjunction with our thoughts. viii. But Peter desires that the action he is about to command his audience, be done with the mind completely and fully engaged. Indeed, Peter seems to consider the mind an integral part of fulfilling his command. ix. What is clear, is that the understanding of the greatness of God in our salvation from the previous 12 verses, is at the core of our minds being adequately prepared for what he is about to command. x. But before he gets to that, here is the second participle… c. [Slide 4] And being sober-minded, i. Unlike the first participle the aspect here suggests a more ongoing action. ii. To be sober would normally mean to remain unintoxicated. Not drunk. iii. However, contextually this word can refer to vigilance or alertness or being on guard. iv. It seems best to refer to any of these since Peter is not really getting into sins or things to avoid at this point. v. So not only must our minds be prepared for action, they must also stay ready, stay vigilant, stay alert – stay in defense mode. vi. So, we have to ask, why? vii. For what purpose must our minds be prepared and alert? d. [Slide 5] Set your hope fully i. All of our hope must be placed somewhere. ii. Why do we need prepared minds for that? Well, we need to have some kind of remembrance or mental engagement in order to give up our hope so fully and so freely. iii. Why do we need vigilance for that? Well, when we see oncoming assault that may shake us to our core, we need then, at that moment especially, to have our hope resting in something secure. iv. Have you ever walked into waves? Whether at a beach or a wave pool? I have a video of Moira experiencing waves for the first time. She boldly ran right up to the water as it left the beach. And she ran in terror from the waves as they came screaming back in. But knowing that waves do this, keeping her eyes up and ready, and bracing her body for the impacts, she has learned to trust her footing and not fear the waves. v. Do you see where I am going here? vi. Knowing the origination, sustaining, and revealing of our salvation rests solely on God gives us the right mental starting point to look up in readiness as we await the assault of our world on our God-given faith. vii. But on what are our feet of faith fully anchored? viii. On what are we leaning as we brace for impact? e. [Slide 6] On the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. i. God is not only the origin of our faith, the sustainer of our faith, the revealer of our faith… my friends… He is the finisher of our faith. ii. And one day, the Son of God will descend and the dead in Christ will be raised, and we will be, from that moment on, with the Lord – Forever! iii. Jesus will not come in meekness again. He will come in power and glory. iv. The sky will burst open and He will descend as He came. v. All will see Him and confess His Kingship. All will bow to Him as Lord. vi. All will see Him and either rejoice or despair. vii. My friends, that will be the great and terrible day of the Lord. viii. And it is on the promise of that day WE PLANT OUR FEET OF FAITH FIRMLY! ix. This life is not the end. This life is not our home. This life is not our Kingdom. This life is not where we belong. x. Therefore, what happens in this life is NOT WORTHY to be compared to the future grace we will receive when Christ comes to take us home. xi. My friends. Prepare your minds, brace for impact, set your full and complete hope in the coming Kingdom of the Son. It is already here in our hearts and in His church… but it will be fully here one day… soon. xii. His promises are forever. Unshaken. Unhindered by man or beast, by angel or demon. He will complete our salvation. xiii. Hope… in… this! f. [Slide 7] Passage Truth: The reminder of this passage on which Peter commands his audience is what he has said in the previous 12 verses. Their GREAT God is at the center of their GREAT salvation. He is the author, the sustainer, and the revealer of it. g. [Slide 8] Passage Application: If God is all of these, Peter's audience must place their hope fully and completely on God's promise of future grace that will be given to them when Christ is revealed. h. [Slide 9] Broader Biblical Truth: As we back out from this passage we see the entire counsel of God's Word revealing to us the nature of this redemption. From before time until time unending, God has designed, secured, and revealed His redemption to His people. And just as sure as all that is – so is the promise that He will complete this redemption for HIs people. i. [Slide 10] Broader Biblical Application: So, what is our response? We must be prepared. We must be ready. We must remember all that God has done so that we can root our footing of faith in the promise of His coming Kingdom and our future grace. Grace is what gets us through the day, Grace is what makes us what God wants us to be, and in that great and final day when Christ descends – Grace will reign in us as we are finally made whole. No matter what life gives us, no matter what we face, that hope is enough to keep us. Transition: [Slide 11(blank)] So, the greatness of our God and His centrality to our Great Salvation moves us to set our hope in that future grace given to us at the revelation of Christ. What a marvelous hope that is too. When we live in light of the future Kingdom of God, we can face all uncertainties. Indeed, as Jesus said to those worrying about food and clothing – seek first the kingdom of God. But not just the Kingdom Jesus said… but also His righteousness. Let's see if Peter agrees with Jesus. II.) Our Great God is at the center of our Great Salvation, so we must be holy as He is holy. (14-16) a. [Slide 12] 14 – As obedient children, i. In light of the greatness of God who is at the center of our Great salvation, Peter is going to give one more command to us before we wrap things up this morning. ii. But once again, Peter is going to couch that command behind two participles. iii. This is important for us to realize because we could come into this text and assume that Peter is commanding several things. iv. In fact, some commentators argue that each of these participles are commands. However, most agree that each of these participles are subordinate to the imperative commands of Peter. v. As we saw before the preparing of our mind and being vigilant directly related to setting our hope on the coming King and His Kingdom. vi. So, we can assume that the other two participles here have direct significance to the command he will give. vii. He begins all of this with the metaphor of being obedient children. viii. This metaphor governs the rest of this section through verse 16. ix. In verse 16, not to spoil anything, Peter relays a quote from Leviticus 19. It is a command of God. x. Essentially what Peter says in shorthand is “like obedient children, obey God.” xi. But how specifically? xii. Let's continue. b. [Slide 13] Do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, i. There are some curious things about this phrase. ii. First, it is in the negative. Something that should not be done. iii. Second, “conforming” is a participle with an ongoing aspect and has a yourself layer in it also. Meaning we could probably translate this “not conforming yourselves” iv. Third, this entire phrase is the indirect object of the sentence. This is how we know that the previous metaphor of obedient children is governing this whole section and not just this phrase. v. Grammatically, the thought cannot end here. vi. In fact, this is kind of a cross between a parenthetical expression and the other half of the command he is going to give. vii. So, stay tuned for that command. viii. But what does it mean for them to not conform themselves to the passions of their former ignorance? ix. Peter will definitely give more information on this later in the letter… but suffice it to say, it is the lifestyles they lived prior to God bringing them to spiritual life and showing them truth. x. Lifestyles of slavery to sin. xi. They cannot conform themselves again to the passions they had while not knowing the truth. xii. What else? c. [Slide 14] 15 – but as He who called you is holy i. In comes the second participle but it is quite interesting here. ii. It is not a participle that is toward Peter's audience but goes back to the center of our salvation… God Himself. iii. So, we might translate it “Just as the one who called you is holy.” d. [Slide 15] You also be holy in all your conduct i. So here is the command, but it is difficult to see. ii. It is to be or to become. iii. You must become. You yourself must become… what? iv. You must become holy in all your conduct. v. So let's analyze the participles and how they contribute to the verbs. 1. Not conforming to your former ignorant passions 2. Called by God vi. Without these two truths, it is impossible to be holy. vii. Without God's calling and without turning from your former passions, you cannot be holy. viii. One is mechanical and the other antithetical. 1. Without God's call, a person is not able to be holy. It is mechanically impossible. 2. Without turning from their former ignorant passions, one cannot hope to be holy since holiness necessitates purity. Holiness and the former passions are mutually exclusive. ix. So, we see how the participles serve the command, but what is the command? x. It is a command to become holy in conduct. When we see the term holiness it can apply in many different ways. God is holy, He is unique. We are holy in that we are set apart for a sacred service to God. It is probably due to this fluidity of the expression that Peter adds “in all your conduct” here. xi. He is not telling his audience to convert or be justified. He is not telling them to be consecrated to the Lord. Not only is that something that they cannot affect on their own, but it is also not the kind of holiness He has in mind. xii. Peter desires that his audience would be pure, set apart, and different in their lifestyles. That all that they do, say, and think, would be set apart. xiii. And God is the pattern for this. Just as the one who called you is holy, you also be holy. xiv. So, we are not set apart in our conduct in some vague way or to be simply weird or peculiar. Rather, this must mean morally upright. A law-keeper. xv. What does being a law-keeper have to do with this and how does it connect with being obedient children? e. [Slide 16] 16 – since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” i. The language of being like obedient children and the concept of being a morally upright law-keeper collide. ii. Peter quotes Leviticus 19:2. An interesting section to quote. It is not from the section of Leviticus devoted to the priests. It is not from sections devoted to ritualistic practice. It is from the moral law of God. iii. Indeed, the full quote of verse 2 is “Speak to the whole congregation of the Israelites and tell them, “You must be holy because I, the Lord your God, am holy.”” iv. Then in verse 3 and 4 he covers commandment 5, 4, and 2 in quick succession. v. It is obvious that Peter is not speaking about holiness ritualistically. He is speaking about holiness practically. Be morally upright! Be pure! vi. We know, that perfection in this life is not within our grasp. But we also love God's law and desire to keep it fully. When we fail, our payment has been made and it stokes our hearts to cry out to the Lord for mercy and grace. vii. But we should make no mistake. The destiny for ALL God's children. For all whom He has called. For All whom He has elected. For All whom He has given true faith… their destiny is to be holy in conduct. Imperfectly in this life, and perfectly in the new Kingdom. viii. That is why the grace to be given to us when Christ is revealed is so sweet. For we will finally, and fully, keep this command. f. [Slide 17] Passage Truth: Again, the Great God of our Great salvation takes center stage. He is the one who has called Peter and his audience out from darkness into light and He is the one who has provided the pattern for them to follow in holiness. g. [Slide 18] Passage Application: So they must live holy lives. Their conduct is to be completely different than the world around them. This should give them the resolve they need to continue to live differently – not the way they used to – even if that means ridicule and suspicion. h. [Slide 19] Broader Biblical Truth: And just like for Peter's audience, God is the center of our great salvation too. He has given us the standard to follow. First in His Word, written down for us thousands of years ago. His holy law given to us to observe and follow. To the extent that distancing ourselves from the truths of even the first page of the Old Testament is to cut off part of the pattern for us to follow. And to us blessed to be part of the New Covenant at these late stages, we have the pattern of holiness displayed for us in the life and death of our Lord Jesus Christ. All we have, all we are, is from God the triune. To Him be glory and honor forever and ever. Amen. i. [Slide 20] Broader Biblical Application: So then, CBC, we cannot go about merely praising the Lord for our great salvation. We cannot sit in our pews and merely marvel at the wonder of this redemption. We cannot simply secure our faith against all that may assault it. No, my friends – it is not sufficient to be a Christian in mind only. We must be a slave of Christ in our conduct also. Living holy lives that reflect the redemption that God has wrought upon us. The greatest amen to such a great salvation is not said with words, but lived. May we be holy as our God is holy. Conclusion: [Slide 21] And so, CBC, taking both commands of Peter, to set our hope in the future grace and to be holy, what might we draw from such a powerful and cumulative passage? First, we see clearly that the spiritual battle starts in our minds. Why do we continue to preach and teach the bible to one another? Why do we continue to talk about the gospel even though we are saved? Shouldn't we just have this information in our heads already? Why must we continually be reminded? For Peter's audience, and for us, the realities of our Great God and His central role in our Great Salvation are mostly invisible truths that we have received by True Faith. They are not baseless and there is so very little evidence that our faith is blind. But when the kingdom of darkness closes in, when troubles threaten to overtake us, when persecution befalls us, when life becomes a waking nightmare – we will need to have had a recent reminder of the Greatness of our God and His central role in our Great Salvation. We will need to have been prepared. Why do we preach Christ crucified still? Because friend, you may need these words someday that is not today. You may need to cling to the promises of a future grace in the revelation of Christ. That may be all you have… I am reading The Hiding Place right now. A story about Corrie Ten Boom, who lived in Holland during World War II. While she was hauled to prison for hiding Jews in her home, what do you think sustained her? What gave her strength? Was it Preachers telling her that she can have her best life now? Was it prophets declaring that today is the year of Jubilee where she will gain wealth through faith? Was it Pastors teaching messages about how she could use the power of positive thinking to chase away her problems? No. She had 1 copy of each gospel. She consumed them and noted how many evil, terrible, and wicked things befell the Son of God and His apostles. And she thought – if God was in control then, and His Son suffered this way according to God's plan, and it did not stop His Kingdom, indeed, it was even part of His Kingdom's coming… perhaps even her imprisonment was part of God's Kingdom continuing to work. My friends. Corrie Ten Boom's mind was prepared. It was vigilant. And she was prepared to set her hope on the God of her salvation. Not from a Nazi prison, but from this world and to His Kingdom. And I tell you, if we are not prepared thusly – we will crumble. That is why we preach Christ crucified. You will face horrors for the name of Christ. Prepare your minds! Be Vigilant! So that you can Set your hope on the future grace given to you when Christ is revealed. But my friends, the battle may start in our mind – but it doesn't end there. A celebrity pastor named Steven Furtick made the news this week for tweeting out this statement. [Slide 22] “Following Jesus doesn't change you into something else, it reveals who you've been all along. What would it be like to see the you that God sees…” Compare Peter's command to Steven Furtick's tweet. [Slide 23 (end)] As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but just as He who called you is holy, be holy in all your conduct – since it is written “you shall be holy for I am holy” Do you see any contradiction there? Yeah… I wish I could say that this is the only statement Steven Furtick has made in recent history that contradicts the gospel – but he is known for this drivel. The saddest part is that his tweet received over 18,000 likes and over 2,500 shares. He is followed by almost 800,000 people and pastors one of the largest “churches” in the US. My friends God did not choose us in Christ before the foundation of the world according to the predetermination of His will, through the consecration of the Holy Spirit, to obey the gospel and be cleansed in Christ's blood, so that he could reveal who we've been all along. Christ did not die on the cross, was raised the third day, ascended to heaven, nor did God send divinely powered faith so that He could show us how He sees us already. The prophets did not marvel at the mystery of the new covenant that promised to polish our hearts of stone to reveal the beauty of the cold and dead heart we've always had. The gospel is good news because it creates a people of God who live to be holy like God is holy. We absolutely are saved to be different. And if following Jesus DOESN'T change you into a new creation… then you aren't following Jesus. We are not saved BY our works… but we are saved FOR works. You must be holy in your conduct. My friends that means you. There are two ways to endure coming hardship and persecution. These two ways existed for Peter's audience and they exist for us as well. You can either set your hope in the future grace given in Christ's revelation – or you can blend in with the world. No doubt Peter's audience was tempted to return to their former ways. It would be much easier that way. Peter says – like obedient children, obey God when He says, be holy. Which means of course that there is only 1 way to endure hardship. Set your hope on the future grace given to us when Christ is revealed, and until then, be holy as God is holy. Are you ready for that Christian?

His Son, #Yeshua; #JesusChrist is that bridge of #atonement through His #blood that brings people to him. By #Grace, through #faith the power to change lives from #darkness to #light is evident. There is no other way, method, #faith, #religion, that enables the truth of #redemption to shine as does this which has been done on the #cross. Thus the same Spirit that raised Christ Jesus from the dead dwells in all those who have received him and followed him. It behooves us to be motivated to live after the Spirit and to understand that we have the #Spiritoflife and liberty within us. Listen to this Show now! Share this post!

Spirit of Adoption finds us again with the Apostle Paul in part 14 of Romans. When explaining the gospel the fulfillment of the law, the work of the Spirit and the bondage of the flesh, no better book describes it as Paul. Yet the message of all the Apostles ring true today as it did then. Christ is the Hope of Glory, the Savior of all Men; who through His Spirit has followed up with us after that we have believed.

Spirit of Adoption finds us again with the Apostle Paul in part 14 of Romans. When explaining the gospel the fulfillment of the law, the work of the Spirit and the bondage of the flesh, no better book describes it as Paul. Yet the message of all the Apostles ring true today as it did then. Christ is the Hope of Glory, the Savior of all Men; who through His Spirit has followed up with us after that we have believed. He has lived within us, thus we cry out Abba Father as we understand our hope and glory through Christ. Listen to this Show now!

Here is a Bible teaching session from Isaiah chapter 40, entitled: Our Great God. Our Great God.

Now, perhaps more than ever, we see that many things are too big or complicated for us to finish. Even though we long for things that are whole and complete, so many things in life are too vast to even see the end. But, we can celebrate that Our Great God knows how to finish and complete things. God's promise is to continue with us until we are made complete. Even when it feels like we will never get to the end of things God is already there, just as powerfully as He is also present with us in the here and now. He is Sovereign King over all of time and eternity. The first and second hymn is LSB 940, “Holy God We Praise Thy Name”. The third and fourth hymn is LSB 524, “How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds”. If you have a Lutheran Service Book Hymnal at home, please sing along.

Twenty Years! Our Great God has sustained MVBC throughout its life, and He will continue to do so according to His will and truth. God desires to be known, proclaimed, obeyed, and glorified, all of which MVBC has strived to achieve and will continue to strive for.
