How To Handle The Mockers
May 29, 2016
Sermon Notes “How to Handle the Mockers"
“We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.”
Colossians 1:28 (NIV84)
Lesson Text
1This is now, beloved, the second letter I am writing to you in which I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, 2that you should remember the words spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken by your apostles. 3Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, 4and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.” 5For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water, 6through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water. 7But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
2 Peter 3:1–7 (NASB95)
Notes:
Peter’s purpose for writing both 1 & 2 Peter was to ‘stir up’ (awaken or stimulate) their ‘sincere (pure; wholesome) mind’ with a reminder of God’s words both past and present. (3:1-2)
Lesson:
REMINDERS are POINTLESS if you have no intention of following through.
22But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves. 23For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; 24for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. 25But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does.
James 1:22–25 (NASB95)
The creation of the universe is proof God is active and isn’t constrained by natural laws. So miracles are not impossible, and neither is the return of Christ to judge the ungodly. Lesson: Don’t put GOD IN A BOX. Just because you haven’t seen it before doesn’t mean it can’t happen. 20Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, 21to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.
Ephesians 3:20–21 (NASB95)
Mockers are BULLIES and they’ll always be around. Whether you allow them to INTIMIDATE you is your choice.
24“A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his master. 25“It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the head of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign the members of his household! 26“Therefore do not fear them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.
Matthew 10:24–26 (NASB95)
