[Psalm 16:1-11] Psalm 16 is quoted by Peter in this first sermon at Pentecost. We walk through all eleven verses in this exposition, explaining how this Psalm is about the resurrection of Jesus, our eternal hope.

This morning we consider the uniqueness of the birth of Jesus, the eternal Son of God, as the Savior of the world.

[1 Peter 4:7] Just as Jesus did in His parables, Peter is urging believers to alertness about the closeness of the end so that we will be sober in prayer.

[1 Peter 4:6] These people who were alive at one time, had the gospel preached to them, believed and were saved, will bring them to judgement and life. This is our hope as well when we follow Jesus and walk in His Spirit. Men will think you foolish and you won’t have peace in this life with the world, but that is the price and path to eternal resurrection life in the Spirit of God.

[1 Peter 4:4-5] Do not be surprised that the world will view us as strange when we walk in righteousness and avoid sin; know that those who run into excesses of dissipation are the aberrant ones to God. Both Cain and Able made an offering to God, but God had regard for only one. Are you really giving God the very best of your life?

[1 Peter 4:3] We are not missing out on anything the world has, carrying out the desire of unbelievers. Do not look back at your former life with fondness like Lot’s wife. The time of being a slave to sin is over. How are you doing with the temptations to sin with sexual immorality and alcohol?
