• 1 Peter 3:1-6 | Imperishable Beauty
    May 12 2024
    Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe 1 Peter 3:1-6 THE PRINCIPLE THE APPLICATION THE ILLUSTRATION Mark 14:3–6 (ESV) And while he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he was reclining at table, a woman came with an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard, very costly, and she broke the flask and poured it over his head. There were some who said to themselves indignantly, “Why was the ointment wasted like that? For this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor.” And they scolded her. But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a beautiful thing to me.” 1 Peter 2:13 (ESV) Be subject for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme 1 Peter 2:17 (ESV) Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor. 1 Peter 2:18 (ESV) Servants, be subject to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the unjust. 1 Peter 2:21 (ESV) For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. Word Biblical Commentary In society’s eyes these women were already highly insubordinate just by virtue of their Christian commitment, and Peter is concerned that they not compound the difficulty by abrasive or troublesome behavior David Helm The submission of which Peter speaks is not adherence to a principle but recognition of the person who compels us to submit in order to live lives of godly obedience. 1 Peter 2:11 abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul David Helm This passion for external adornment comes at a terrible cost for today’s women—the sense of never looking good enough, never being pretty enough, never measuring up. Women are made to feel inferior, ugly, and unlovable. And the consequences are mounting. David Helm It is with a sense of irony then that we recognize that the Bible leads the way against such oppression and that Peter thinks more highly of women than does the culture in which we live. Peter wants to free women from the obscene obsession of looking good. 1 Peter 1:6–7 (ESV) In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 1:3–5 According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. Proverbs 31:25 She laughs at the time to come. 1 Peter 2:9 (ESV) But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

    John 15:1-11 | The True Vine from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo.

    Preacher: Sam Powers John 15:1-11 The True Vine The Vinedresser Abide in Me As the Father has loved me That my Joy may be in you 7 Truths for the Believer Abiding in Christ does not lead to ease - it leads to pruning. Salvation is not at stake in abiding- but joy is. Abiding in Christ is not an individual sport - it’s done in community. Abiding in Christ is not the pursuit of feelings - it’s the pursuit of holiness. Abiding in Christ is not occasional - it’s moment by moment. Abiding in Christ is not without opposition - the world, the flesh, and the devil hate it. Abiding in Christ is not sustained by our commitment - it’s sustained by grace.

    Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe Romans 3:21–26 GOSPEL GLORY JUSTIFICATION REDEMPTION PROPITIATION Romans 6:10–11 (ESV) For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. London Baptist Confession He has accomplished these things by His perfect obedience and sacrifice of Himself, which He once for all offered up to God through the eternal Spirit. Hebrews 9:11–12 (ESV) But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption. Hebrews 9:22 (ESV) Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins. Hebrews 9:23–24 (ESV) Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. Hebrews 9:26 (ESV) But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. Hebrews 10:14 (ESV) For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified. John Murray Vengeance is the reaction of the holiness of God to sin, and the covering is that which provides for the removal of divine displeasure which the sin evokes. … To propitiate means to “placate,” “pacify,” “appease,” “conciliate.” And it is this idea that is applied to the atonement accomplished by Christ. John Murray Propitiation presupposes the wrath and displeasure of God, and the purpose of propitiation is the removal of this displeasure. Very simply stated the doctrine of propitiation means that Christ propitiated the wrath of God and rendered God propitious to his people. London Baptist Confession By His obedience and death, Christ fully paid the debt of all those who are justified. He endured in their place the penalty they deserved. By this sacrifice of Himself in His bloodshed on the cross, He legitimately, really and fully satisfied God’s justice on their behalf. John Murray It is one thing to say that the wrathful God is made loving. That would be entirely false. It is another thing to say the wrathful God is loving. That is profoundly true. 1 John 4:10 (ESV) In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Gospel Partnership Manual The gospel is God’s proclamation that by grace through faith the believer is united to Jesus in His life, death and resurrection so that he is forgiven of his sin and granted Jesus’s righteousness and thus will be presented before God, not condemned but redeemed, glorifying God forever.

    Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe _Romans 3:21–26 _ 2024-04-07 | ProPresenter TITLE: Gospel Glory — Part 1 SCRIPTURE: Romans 3:21–26 GOSPEL GLORY THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD APART FROM THE LAW THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD THROUGH FAITH THE REDEMPTION THAT IS IN CHRIST JESUS GOD’S KINDNESS VINDICATED — THE JUST AND THE JUSTIFIER John Murray Redemption contemplates our bondage and is the provision of grace to release us from that bondage. Propitiation contemplates our liability to the wrath of God and is the provision of grace whereby we may be freed from that wrath. Ezekiel 33:10–11 (ESV) And you, son of man, say to the house of Israel, Thus have you said: ‘Surely our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and we rot away because of them. How then can we live?’ Say to them, As I live, declares the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live; turn back, turn back from your evil ways, for why will you die, O house of Israel? The 1689 Baptist Confession (Article 11) By His obedience and death, Christ fully paid the debt of all those who are justified. He endured in their place the penalty they deserved. By this sacrifice of Himself in His bloodshed on the cross, He legitimately, really and fully satisfied God’s justice on their behalf. Yet their justification is based entirely on free grace, because He was given by the Father for them, and His obedience and satisfaction were accepted in their place. These things were done freely, not because of anything in them, so that both the exact justice and the rich grace of God would be glorified in the justification of sinners. John Bunyan, The Pilgrim’s Progress, 1688 So I saw in my dream that just as Christian came up to the cross, his burden loosed from off his shoulders and fell from off his back and began to tumble, and so continued to do till it came to the mouth of the sepulchre, where it fell in, and I saw it no more. Then was Christian glad and lightsome and said with a merry heart, “He hath given me rest by His sorrow and life by His death.” Then he stood still awhile to look and wonder, for it was very surprising to him that the sight of the cross should thus ease him of his burden. He looked therefore and looked again, even till the springs that were in his head sent the waters down his cheeks.

    Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe 1 Corinthians 15:50–58 RESURRECTION IN HISTORY RESURRECTION FUTILITY RESURRECTION IN FACT RESURRECTION VICTORY RESURRECTION LIFE Philip Ryken … when the Israelites praised God for bringing them out of Egypt — sending the plagues, providing the lamb, parting the sea, and all the rest of it — were they praising him for something that he had actually done or were they simply making up a story about where they came from? J. Gresham Machen The great weapon with which the disciples of Jesus set out to conquer the world was not a mere comprehension of eternal principles; it was an historical message, an account of something that had recently happened, it was the message, “He is risen.” Charles Spurgeon We believe that every portion of Scripture history is not only a faithful transcript of what did actually happen, but also a shadow of what happens spiritually in the dealings of God with his people, or in the dispensations of his grace towards the world at large. John 21:24 (ESV) This is the disciple who is bearing witness about these things, and who has written these things, and we know that his testimony is true.

    John 19:30 | The Word of Victory from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo.

    Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe John 19:30 Τετέλεσται = It is finished THE END OF HISTORY THE END OF SUFFERING THE END OF ATONEMENT THE END OF GLORY A. W. Pink From the beginning, God’s purpose has always been one and indivisible. It has been declared to men in various ways: in symbol and type, by mysterious hints and by plain intimations, through Messianic prediction and through didactic declaration. That purpose of God may be summarized thus: to display his grace and to magnify his Son in the creating of children in his own image and glory. Luke 22:42 (ESV) Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done. Psalm 85:10 (ESV) Steadfast love and faithfulness meet; righteousness and peace kiss each other. Colossians 1:17–20 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross. Hebrews 1:1–4 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs. Ephesians 3:8–12 … the unsearchable riches of Christ … is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God, who created all things, so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. This was according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord. Hebrews 2:9 But we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. John 16:33 (ESV) I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
