Psalm 46

PEACE FOR A WORLD WITHOUT PEACE

We live in a world without peace. Israel, Iraq, Afghanistan, Terrorism, and violent crimes in our own country are testimonies to a world without peace. But individuals also lack peace due to personal, work, church, and family problems. Psalm 46 shows us peace for a world without peace.

PEACE DECLARED Vss. 1-3

PEACE DESCRIBED Vss. 4-5

Revelation 21:1-4 - And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. [2] And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. [3] And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. [4] And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Revelation 22:1-5 - And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. [2] In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. [3] And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: [4] And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. [5] And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

PEACE DESPISED Vs. 6a

Psalm 2:1-3 - Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? [2] The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, [3] Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

PEACE DEPLOYED Vss. 6b-9

Revelation 19:11-21

Isaiah 11:6-9 - The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. [7] And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. [8] And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den. [9] They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.

PEACE DEMANDED Vss. 10-11

·       KNOW HIM AS THE GOD OF STRENGTH Philippians 4:13

*************************************************************************

Matthew 19:16-26

RIGHT, YET WRONG

It is possible to be almost right, and yet still wrong.

For instance, a pitcher for a baseball team can get almost everybody "out", and just a make a few wrong pitches. Those few pitches can cost him hits and walks that allow the opposing team to score winning runs..

In a conversation, it is possible to say many right things, and just make one thoughtless, hurtful remark, that ruins the whole conversation.

We can do many right, good works, and yet destroy our testimonies with one act of sin.

In our text the "Rich Young Ruler" did many things right, and yet did one wrong thing that cost him his soul.

HE CAME TO THE RIGHT PERSON (JESUS) Vs. 16

HE ASKED THE RIGHT QUESTIONS Vss. 16B, 20

HE RECEIVED THE RIGHT ANSWERS Vss. 17-19, 21

HE MADE THE WRONG DECISION Vss. 22-26

Please Note: Salvation is through faith in Christ alone (John 1:12, John

3:16). However, certain things, such as money, can keep us from putting our faith in Christ. Jesus wanted the man to give up his possessions because it was keeping him from exercising faith in Christ.

1 Peter 3:8-12

A WONDERFUL LIFE

Many of you have seen the classic Frank Capra Movie, "It's A Wonderful Life", starring Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed. It is the story of a fictitious hero, George Bailey, who lived the fictitious town of Bedford Falls. All did not always go well for Bailey. He wanted to go to college, and didn't. He wanted to travel and didn't. He didn't want to work at the Building and Loan that his father and uncle started and did. He was constantly struggling to keep the Bailey Building and Loan afloat and this caused him much aggravation. His biggest problem turned out to be missing money that could have landed him in jail. The point of the movie was that in spite of all his problems and disappointments, George Bailey was a special person. He saved the life of his brother when they were boys. He married a wonderful girl and had wonderful kids. He helped countless numbers of people by supplying affordable housing, and he was constantly doing good deeds. As an "angel" by the name Clarence showed him, George Bailey had a wonderful life.

Now, It's A Wonderful life was pure fiction, especially the part about the angel named "Clarence." But it is no fiction that countless thousands of Christians have had wonderful lives in spite of their struggles and hardships. Think of some of the folks from this church that you know or have known. They have seen many blessings and have been a blessing to many of you. Because of their relationship to Christ they led and are leading wonderful lives.

You might ask the question, "How can I be sure of having a wonderful life?" As we examine 1 Peter 3:8-12 we will learn how to be sure of having a wonderful life despite frustrations, hardships and trials.

To begin with, I need to remind you that having wonderful life begins at the cross of Calvary were Jesus paid for you sins.

Your wonderful life begins with a faith commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ. You can't have a wonderful life without knowing you have eternal life. That's step #1! (You might want to take the time to elaborate on Ephesians 2:1-9 here. I did.)

For those of us who know Christ 1 Peter 3:8-12 shows us how to have this wonderful life. I have summed up what Peter is saying in three words.

CONDUCT - Vss. 8-9

Here is a list of ways to conduct ourselves as part of the body of Christ.

I suggest that you elaborate on each one of them.

CONFIRMATION - Vss. 10-11

When I preach I constantly quote the Scriptures to confirm that what I'm saying is the truth. It is not important what I have to say. It is important what God has to say! Peter confirms that what He is saying is true by quoting Psalm 34:12-16. We need to note that we are to shun evil actions and words in favor of doing good and seeking peace.

CONSOLATION - Vss. 12

Peter is still quoting from Psalm 34. We can be consoled that the Lord is looking over the righteous and listening to their prayers. The Lord is also hardened against those who do evil, even though He loves them.
