Sunday Morning | October 6, 2024 | John C. Majors | Louisville, KY

The sermon "Witness Works," based on 1 Peter 2:11-12, highlights two essential ways our Christian witness functions. First, we must abstain from fleshly desires, recognizing the internal conflict between flesh and soul as seen in Romans 7:15 and James 4:1, but also trusting in the victory assured through Christ. This separation from worldly behavior reflects our identity, as seen in Genesis 23:4, where we are described as sojourners on earth. Second, we are called to maintain our good deeds and faithfulness, allowing our light to shine before others (Matthew 5:16) and remaining steadfast despite opposition (Matthew 5:11), thus bearing witness to God's work and grace in our lives (Luke 19:44, Luke 1:68).

In the sermon "Monuments of Mercy" based on 1 Peter 2:4-10, Pastor John emphasizes the identity and role of believers as "living stones" and "priests to the world." Drawing from both Old and New Testament scriptures such as Isaiah 28:16, Exodus 19:6, and Matthew 21:42-44, he explains how Christians are built into a spiritual house, called to offer spiritual sacrifices and proclaim God’s excellencies. Pastor John highlights the believer's dual role of being set apart for God while also being sent into the world to represent Him. He notes that, although some disobey now, there remains hope for their future repentance and faith, as God's mercy continues to work in their lives.

Pastor John's sermon, based on 1 Peter 2:1-3, is part of the larger series titled "1 Peter: Finding Joy in Suffering." In this particular message, Pastor John discusses three practical ways to get out of a spiritual rut, guiding us to grow deeper in our faith. First, he advises us to "Change your clothes," which symbolizes removing destructive emotions like envy—a powerful negative force that doesn’t just want what others have but wishes ill upon them. Pastor John highlights a quote from Tim Keller, emphasizing how dangerous envy can be. The second step is to "Get hungry" for spiritual growth. Pastor John unpacks three layers of hunger: having a deep longing for God, constantly seeking growth, and choosing your spiritual nourishment wisely. Lastly, the sermon reminds us to "Remember the good taste" of God's goodness, as reflected in Psalm 34. This final step encourages us to hold on to the experiences we've had of God's goodness and let them fuel our faith journey forward.

In his sermon titled "Be Who You Are Meant to Be," Pastor John delves into 1 Peter 1:13-16, emphasizing the importance of mindset and conduct in shaping our true identity. He begins by discussing the three essential aspects of mindset: preparation, sobriety, and hope. Drawing from Exodus 12:11, Ephesians 6:14, and Luke 12:35, he highlights the need to be mentally prepared for action. Pastor John then discusses the characteristics of a sober mind, quoting Josephus to illustrate the strength that comes from remaining composed under adversity. Finally, he speaks on the hope rooted in the grace of Jesus Christ’s resurrection. Moving to conduct, Pastor John urges us to reject conformity to worldly patterns and instead, imitate the holiness of God as outlined in Leviticus 19:2 and echoed in Revelation 4:8. By focusing on these principles, we can become the people God has called us to be.

In Pastor John’s sermon "1 Peter 1:10-12: Admired by Angels," he explores three key realities of salvation: Salvation Searched, Salvation Preserved, and Salvation Observed. He begins by discussing how the prophets diligently searched and inquired about this salvation (1 Peter 1:10-11), outlining the "order" of salvation from Election to Glorification, highlighting the divine sequence of God’s redemptive plan. He then emphasizes that salvation is preserved by God’s grace (1 Peter 1:12a), ensuring that it is not only initiated but also sustained by Him. Finally, Pastor John reflects on how even angels long to observe this salvation (1 Peter 1:12b), revealing the profound mystery and glory of God’s saving work, as seen in Luke 24:25-27. He likens the angels observation of our salvation to his own experience of observing his young children, innocently delighting in outdoor play.

In the sermon titled "Heart Transforming Praise," Pastor John draws from 1 Peter 1:3-5 and Psalm 79 to explore three reasons why believers should engage in heartfelt praise. The first reason is that believers are "reborn into hope," a hope that is firmly anchored in the past, remains in the present, and is completed in the future, as emphasized by E. Clowney. This hope contrasts with the despair reflected in Sophocles' quote, where he suggests it is better not to be born at all. The second reason is the "reserved inheritance" that believers are promised, an unchanging and eternal inheritance as described in James 1:27 and Isaiah 40:8. Finally, the sermon highlights "salvation revealed," emphasizing the importance of recognizing and praising God for the salvation made known through Christ, which transforms lives and assures believers of their place in God's eternal plan.
