Preacher: Jeremy Herbert
Theme:
Text: Romans 15:14
Notes:
“Full of goodness”
Christlike character
moral excellence
1 Peter 3:10
Goodness delights in the character of Christ
Goodness is developing the character of Christ
God expects progression, not perfection
Progress in Christlikeness will require intentionality and effort
The world is always pushing against us–if we are not pushing forward we will be pushed back
As God works in each of our lives, He uses our respective strengths to help one another’s respective weaknesses
Goodness is defending the goodness of Christ
We seek for God to be glorified and turn away from and seek to change those things that dishonor Him
“…Christ could not sit idly by while God’s character was impugned”, –Jerome
Galatians 6:1-2

Preacher: Jeremy Herbert
Theme: Contentment
Text: Philippians 4, 1 Timothy 6
Notes:
Focus on godliness
“godliness with contentment is great gain”
Deuteronomy 8:18, “the Lord your God…it is he who gives you power to get wealth”
God is both the source and the object of our joy and contentment
Godly contentment doesn’t preclude wise and holy ambition–it simply precludes making wealth the source or object of our happiness
You can’t take it with you, but you can send it ahead
1 Timothy 6:7, “we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world.”
Luke 16:9, “make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth,”
Learn to live without so that we can learn to live with
1 Timothy 6:8, “if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content.”
We learn to focus on spiritual joy when we are distracted by things
“The soul that is only content with things will never be content”
We must watch our desires
We must avoid distraction from present reality
We must avoid attempting to fill soul emptiness with temporal wealth
We must avoid seeking status in temporal wealth
Craving wealth always ends badly
1 Timothy 6:9, “those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.”
Jeremiah Burroughs, ‘The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment’, having much is more dangerous than having little, because you can afford harmful temptations
When you cling tightly to things it hurts more when they are taken away
Wealth tempts us to be prideful
Wealth tempts us to oppress others
Micah 2:1-2
Wealth tempts us to trust ourselves
Hosea 13:6, “but when they had grazed, they became full, they were filled, and their heart was lifted up; therefore they forgot me.”
Contentment results in generosity
2 Corinthians 9
Matthew 6:19-27

Preacher: Jeremy Herbert
Theme: Love is not irritable or resentful
Text: 1 Corinthians 13:5
Notes:
The descriptions of love in 1 Corinthians describe the character of Christ.
Proverbs 22:1, “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches”
Irritable
Paul’s primary concern in this verse is that love is not irritable with people
However, when we are irritated with circumstances, we are often irritated with God himself
Love chooses not to be angered, annoyed, or exasperated with others
Paul himself was not immune to this temptation, nor was his partner in ministry, Barnabas:
Acts 15, “the contention was so sharp that they parted from one another”
Why do we get irritated?
Our values are distorted by sin
We value our time and energy more than we value people
We would love to get our way more than we love others
We view others as obstacles to happiness rather than agents to push us toward holiness
Those who irritate us help us to see our own weaknesses
Resentful
Irritation(s) over a period of time fester into resentment
The biblical language is rooted in accounting/recording wrongs in a ledger
“Love keeps no record of wrongs”
Love does not ‘forgive and forget’–it remembers, and still forgives
Chrysostom, love quenches wrongs rather than recording them

How do we respond when we get irritated or resentful?
Angry looks
Angry words
Poisoned courtesy
Silent treatment
Sulking
Withdrawing

God uses people and circumstances to grow us into Christlikeness
Real joy is circumstance-independent
How do we address this in our own heart?
What do I really want?
Philippians 2:1-4
Galatians 5:26
1 Corinthians 13:7-8
No matter how difficult circumstances and people are, love persists
People are not obstacles
1 Corinthians 13:13-14:1, “the greatest of these is love…pursue love”
We are most like our Savior when we love

Theme: Love does not insist on its own way, and is not irritable or resentful
Text: 1 Corinthians 13:
Notes:
“Do you realize how God treats his children who mistreat His love?
He loves them all the fiercer.” –Dane Ortlund
Love is always:
God-centered
God-shaped

Love doesn’t insist on its own way
“Cure selfishness and you have replanted the garden of Eden,” –R.C.H. Lenski
The gospel is by its very nature others-focused
3 John 9, “…Diotrephes, who likes to put himself first, does not acknowledge our authority.”
How do we insist on our own way?
Pushy
Overbearing
Vindictive
Make non-essential issues into essential issues
We see ourselves as completely wise but not in need of wisdom
When we focus on our experience/expression in church service
When we dishonor those with differing gifts, or different applications of gifts
When we insist on doing everything in church to our liking
How does love behave?
Love appreciates the unity in diversity
Unity in Christ and essential doctrines of Christian faith
Sees the good in differing gifts/points of view/expressions of faith
Love is teachable
Love is flexible when possible
Love is willing to sacrifice their wants for the good of others
1 Peter 5:5
B.J. Thompson, “Surround yourself with people who feed your soul and not your ego.”
Philippians 2:3

I’m here to serve God and others and not myself.

Preacher: Jeremy Herbert
Theme: Love
Text: 1 Corinthians 13
Notes:
Love is defined by what it does–not what it says or what it feels.
Love:
Is Patient/Longsuffering and Kind
Patient with the faults and failures of others–and is still kind to them
It is not possible to claim to be patient if you are still unkind
How do I react when other people let me down?
God is patient with many who will reject Him
“God is good to the just and the unjust”, Matthew 5:43-48
Psalm 145:9
Romans 2, “the goodness of God leads us to repentance”
Kindness is love in working clothes
Augustine in Confessions, Ambrose moved him by his kindness; “that man of God received me like a father”
Amy Carmichael in India
Rejoices in and speaks the truth
Our love for God and our love for others are rooted in the truth
Ephesians 4, truth matures us and unifies us
Ephesians 4:15, “speaking the truth in love”
The truth speaks love–but it always speaks lovingly
1 Timothy 2:1-4
2 Timothy 2:24-45, the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome
Revelation 2:1-5, it doesn’t matter how many things you get right–if you get love wrong

Theme:
Text: 1 Corinthians 13, Ephesians 4, Galatians 5
Notes:
Ephesians 4:15, We are not to hold to love (at the expense of truth),
nor hold to truth (at the expense of love);
both constitute a false dichotomy.
From 1 Corinthians 13:1-3:
Being spiritually gifted is not enough
Exercising gifts apart from love is not beneficial to anyone, not even the one serving
Being biblically knowledgeable is not enough
Speaking the Word of God without the heart of God is not beneficial to anyone
Having great faith is not enough
Grand gestures are not enough
Selling all you possess to give to the poor
Giving your body through martyrdom
Yet if done without love these gestures are fruitless
Ministry without love is nothing
It does not benefit anyone
It does not glorify God
It may even be destructive

Biblical love motivated by and empowered by the Spirit is glorifying to God and beneficial to others
–and ourselves.
Anything else is nothing.

Theme: The Humanity of Christ
Text: Hebrews 2
Notes:
Christ came not to redeem only our soul, but to redeem us in our entirety, heart, soul, mind, and emotions.
Jesus submitted his emotions to the Father, and so should we

Preacher: Jeremy Herbert
Theme: Prayer
Text: John 16
Notes:
“Prayers are soul-shaping conversations with God”
Fruitful ministry must be watered by prayer.
We must make time for prayer–we will not find it.
“Prayer is not overcoming God’s reluctance.
It is laying hold of his highest willingness.” –Archbishop Trench
The Father is for us, not against us.
Luke 15:11-32
Neither son in the parable of the prodigal son understood the heart of their father–
one who is loving and loves to do good to those who cannot merit it.
If we don’t understand the heart of our Father, we won’t seek holiness–we’ll just seek loopholes–and we will not have joy.
God answers prayers according to His will, your good, and your joy–
and none of those are opposed to the other.
God not only knew every sin you had committed,
but every sin you would ever commit when He set His love on you.
God knows each of us by name
Isaiah 43:1, “I have called you by name”
Acts 26:14
1 Samuel 3

“Taste and see that the Lord is good”
