EIG Chemnitz Sermon/Predigt

In order to fulfill the plan God has for us we need to allow the HSP to transform us,

more and more, into the image of Jesus.

1- Be willing to forgive those who have hurt/offended us;

2- Be humble;

3- Be willing to carry one another’s burdens:

4- Be a godly friend:

i- Keep promises made to each other;

ii- Make room in our lives/hearts for each other;

iii- Listen to what’s on friend’s heart;

iv- Help each other keep eyes on Jesus.

v- etc

v-- Honour One Another

- All people are created in God’s image therefore we are to “respect and honour

everyone.” 1 Peter 2:17

- Honour is expressed through our actions, words and thoughts. Honour is not

based on whether we think the people are good or not, capable or incompotent;

We are to honour:

1- Parents- Exodus 20:12, Eph ho6:1-3; Jonathon honoured King Saul inspite of

how his father treated him.

2- Elderly- Lev. 19:32, 1 Tim 5:- honour older men as father. Older women as mother

3- Your spouse- 1 Peter 3:7, Eph 5:33. If single- honour young men as brothers and young women as sisters.

4- Those in authority over us in secular world:

A- Government – 1 Peter 2:13-14, Romans 13. Always honour those in authority, submit except when what they ask us to do violates Gods’ Word.

ex- midwives- Pharaoh, Daniel ordered to pray to king, SMA- bow to idol, Acts

4- disciples told to quit teaching about Jesus

- Nehemiah- great example- always honoured the king when he spoke to him.

Neh 2:3,5,7. Honouring king lead to good results.

- David honoured Saul- 2 Samuel 1:23-27

B- Those is authority over us at work (Christian/secular) – 1 Tim. 6:1, Col. 3:22-

24+, Eph. 6:5-8, Titus 2:9-10

C- Leaders at church- 1 Tim 5:17-18 (double honour),

Vs 19-20- when leaders fail- process of dealing with this needs to be one thatstill treats them with honour and respect.

1 Thess 5:12-13, Hebrews 13:17 - - esteem them highly, live at peace with one another, don’t make their work more difficult, obey them- as long as this doesn’t violate God’s

Word.

Honour is a 2 way street- people honour leaders; leaders honour people by:

i- Serve them willingly and joyfully 1 Peter 5:2-3;

ii- Being committed to those they serve- ex- Moses;

iii- Have a servant’s heart- MK 10:45a- Jesus came to serve not to be served;

iv- Invest time and energy in getting to know the people, Jesus -Mary, Martha

and Lazarus; Jesus- Zacchaeus;

v- Listen to the people, hear their heart;

vi- Speak kindly/gently to the people.

5- We are to honour other believers- Romans 12:10;

6- We are to honour everyone – no exceptions- 1 Peter 2:17.
